P28: Estimating Bus Driver Fatigue through Performance Measures in a Virtual Driving Environment

p28: estimating bus driver fatigue through performance measures in a virtual driving environment

driver fatigue is one of the main causes of road accidents. this study aimed to estimate bus driver fatigue through performance measures in a virtual driving environment. the study was conducted on thirty professional male bus drivers participated in a two-hour drive session. the driver subjective fatigue was assessed by fatigue visual analogue scale (f-vas) on 10 min intervals. at the same tim...

Correlation between Driver Subjective Fatigue and Bus Lateral Position in a Driving Simulator

BACKGROUND Driver fatigue as a leading cause of death in the transportation industry can impair the driving performance in long-distance driving task. Studies on the links of driver subjective fatigue and the bus lateral position are still an exploratory issue that requires further investigation. This study aimed to determine the correlation between the driver subjective fatigue and the bus lat...

Driver Cognitive Distraction Detection Using Driving Performance Measures

Driver cognitive distraction is a hazard state, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. This study focuses on detecting the driver cognitive distraction state based on driving performance measures. Characteristic parameters could be directly extracted from Controller Area NetworkCANBus data, without depending on other sensors, which improves real-time and robustness performance. Three cogni...

Can Low Cost Road Engineering Measures Combat Driver Fatigue? A Driving Simulator Investigation

Expertise-Based Performance Measures in a Virtual Training Environment

This paper introduces and validates quantitative performance measures for a rhythmic target-hitting task. These performance measures are derived from a detailed analysis of human performance during a month-long training experiment where participants learned to operate a 2-DOF haptic interface in a virtual environment to execute a manual control task. The motivation for the analysis presented in...

Driver fatigue and highway driving: a simulator study.

Long duration of driving is a significant cause of fatigue-related accidents on motorways or major roadways. The fatigue caused by driving for extended periods acutely impairs driver alertness and performance and can compromise transportation safety. This study quantitatively measured the progression of driver fatigue and identified the conservative safe duration of continuous highway driving. ...
