background: driver fatigue is one of the major implications in transportation safety and accounted for up to 40% of road accidents. this study aimed to analyze the eeg alpha power changes in partially sleep-deprived drivers while performing a simulated driving task. methods: twelve healthy male car drivers participated in an overnight study. continuous eeg and eog records were taken during driv...

in our country, student transportations’ security and driving accidents statistics for students is one of the major concerns for relevant organizations such as educational organization. in current year, a system, was named sepand, was formed in city taxi driver :::::::union::::::: by educational organization, naja traffic and city taxi driver :::::::union:::::::. in this systems’ plan, basis on...

reviews in many countries indicate that drivers often talk on mobile (cell) phones. studies have been done on possible effects of concurrent mobile phone use on driving performance. previous studies have found that phone talking could impairs performance on simulated or instrumented driving tasks, using such measures as reaction time, following distance, and situational awareness. most of these...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of landmark information of varying quality within drivers' navigation instructions on driving and navigation performance when navigating an unfamiliar route. BACKGROUND Current vehicle navigation systems predominantly use distance-to-turn information to enable a driver to locate a forthcoming maneuver. Although it has been pr...

In this paper, a pattern recognition approach is developed to identify the driver steering behavior characteristics. The detailed process is divided into three parts, feature parameters extracting, clustering process and identification model building. The driving simulator experiments are designed to obtain the primitive data, and the feature parameters are extracted to profile each driver stee...

Driver expectation is about driver’s objective response and expectation for various traffic environments. It might directly influence the driving safety and traffic operation. This paper discusses in enough detail the shaping mechanism of driver expectation while considers road geometer parameters, driver behavior and vehicle performance in mountainous road. Combined various geometer parameters...

We present the probabilistic model architecture for combining a layered model of human driver expertise with beliefs about the vehicle state to describe the effect of anticipations on driver actions. It implements the sensory-motor system of human drivers in a psychological motivated mixture-of-behaviors (MoB) architecture with autonomous, goal-based attention allocation and anticipation proces...

Due to the increasing demand for traveling in public transportation systems and increasing traffic of vehicles, nowadays vehicles are getting to be intelligent to increase safety, reduce the probability of accident and also financial costs. Therefore, today, most vehicles are equipped with multiple safety control and vehicle navigation systems. In the process of developing such systems, simulat...
