The relationship between a driver's glance pattern and corresponding head rotation is highly complex due to its nonlinear dependence on the individual, task, and driving context. This study explores the ability of head pose to serve as an…
In this simulator study, we investigate how gaze parameters reflect driver cognitive distraction under varying traffic conditions and adaptive cruise control (ACC) use. Participants completed six driving scenarios that combined two levels…
Driver gaze plays an important role in different gaze-based applications such as driver attentiveness detection, visual distraction detection, gaze behavior understanding, and building driver assistance system. The main objective of this…
Driver distraction strongly contributes to crash-risk. Therefore, assistance systems that warn the driver if her distraction poses a hazard to road safety, promise a great safety benefit. Current approaches either seek to detect critical…
Using current sensing technology, a wealth of data on driving sessions is potentially available through a combination of vehicle sensors and drivers' physiology sensors (heart rate, breathing rate, skin temperature, etc.). Our hypothesis is…
Driver inattention assessment has become a very active field in intelligent transportation systems. Based on active sensor Kinect and computer vision tools, we have built an efficient module for detecting driver distraction and recognizing…
Driver cognitive distraction is a major cause of road collisions and remains difficult to detect. Unlike manual or visual distraction, cognitive distraction is diverted by thoughts unrelated to driving, even when the driver appears visually…
Human drivers use their attentional mechanisms to focus on critical objects and make decisions while driving. As human attention can be revealed from gaze data, capturing and analyzing gaze information has emerged in recent years to benefit…
Distracted driving is a leading cause of road accidents globally. Identification of distracted driving involves reliably detecting and classifying various forms of driver distraction (e.g., texting, eating, or using in-car devices) from…
Changes and advances in information technology have played an important role in the development of intelligent vehicle systems in recent years. Driver fatigue and distracted driving are important factors in traffic accidents. Thus, onboard…
As we navigate our daily commutes, the threat posed by a distracted driver is at a large, resulting in a troubling rise in traffic accidents. Addressing this safety concern, our project harnesses the analytical power of Convolutional Neural…
This study proposes an approach to segment human object from a depth image based on histogram of depth values. The region of interest is first extracted based on a predefined threshold for histogram regions. A region growing process is then…
Driver distraction is a principal cause of traffic accidents. In a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, engaging in activities such as interacting with in-car menus, consuming food or beverages, or engaging…
We propose a novel method to estimate a driver's points-of-gaze using a pair of ordinary cameras mounted on the windshield and dashboard of a car. This is a challenging problem due to the dynamics of traffic environments with 3D scenes of…
This paper reports results from a high-fidelity driving simulator study (N=215) about a head-up display (HUD) that conveys a conditional automated vehicle's dynamic "uncertainty" about the current situation while fallback drivers watch…
Ensuring traffic safety and mitigating accidents in modern driving is of paramount importance, and computer vision technologies have the potential to significantly contribute to this goal. This paper presents a multi-modal Vision…
Despite recent advances in automated driving technology, impaired driving continues to incur a high cost to society. In this paper, we present a driving dataset designed to support the study of two common forms of driver impairment: alcohol…
Many road accidents occur due to distracted drivers. Today, driver monitoring is essential even for the latest autonomous vehicles to alert distracted drivers in order to take over control of the vehicle in case of emergency. In this paper,…
Automated estimation of the allocation of a driver's visual attention may be a critical component of future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. In theory, vision-based tracking of the eye can provide a good estimate of gaze location. In…
The classification of distracted drivers is pivotal for ensuring safe driving. Previous studies demonstrated the effectiveness of neural networks in automatically predicting driver distraction, fatigue, and potential hazards. However,…
