Drivers need to process dynamic stimulus in real - time with full attention from Telematics environment. However, as the information technology revolution brings more and more data into vehicles, all of it competing for the drivers' attention, the development of automated assistance for driver information processing becomes increasingly import ant. There for e, drivers' workload is very essential factor for safety driving in Telematics environment. In this paper, we have discussed driver distraction caused by driver conversation while driving and proposed voice activity detection algorithm for measuring driver workload. Finally, we show how voice activity detection system works for measuring driver workload.

It is very important to research drivers' visual behavior. Angle of vision is very important and accounts for more than 90% as the source of driving information. In curve sections, drivers can know the front circumstances and drive more safely and comfortably through facilities guiding their eye movements. Therefore, the standards of installation and effectiveness of these facilities to guide drivers' gaze need to be reconsidered considering characteristics of drivers' eyes The national road no. 34 (Jincheon IC, Buckamri-Yiriangmun section), which is a high-accident-frequency location, is chosen for experimental place. The aim of this study is to understand the process of drivers' visual movement which is drivers' visual behavior and to check the facilities to guide their eyes. Another goal of this study is to improve facilities to guide drivers' eyes on a result basis of considering drivers' visual behavior especially for traffic safety in a high-accident-frequency curve sections.

In this paper, a driver's drowsy detection sensor system based on the respiration is investigated. The sensor system consists of a piezoelectric pressure sensor attached at the abdominal region of the seat belt and a personal computer. The piezoelectric pressure sensor was utilized for the measurement of pressure variations induced by the movement of the driver abdomen during breathing. The signal processing software for detecting driver's drowsiness was produced using the Labview. The experiments were performed with 30 years male driver. The amplitude of the respiration at awake state was larger than one at the drowsy state. On the contrary, the respiration rate at awake state was lower than one at the drowsy state. The drowsy detection sensor system developed based on the experimental could successfully detect the driver's drowsy on real-time.

In this paper, we devise a new ontology-based context-aware system to recognize the smart car information, in which driver's intent is utilized by information of car, driver, environment as well as driving state, driver state. So proposed system can handle dynamically risk changes by adding real-time situational awareness information. We utilize the camera image recognition technology for context-aware intelligent vehicle driving information, and implement information acquisition scheme OBD-II protocol to acquire vehicle's information. Experiments confirm that the proposed advanced driver safety assist system outperforms the conventional system, which only utilizes the information of vehicle, driver, and environmental information, to support the service of a high-speed driving, lane-departure service and emergency braking situation awareness.

Older drivers have an increased risk of accidents due to poor function, but they also develop self-regulation ability to check their own changes. Thus, information on whether the actual elderly driver responds to changes in driving ability and risk may provide a meaningful basis for the clinic and research of the elderly's driving ability assessment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the evaluation of elderly drivers by analyzing the driving risk self-perception characteristics in terms of driving behavior and function with Korean elderly drivers. A self-reporting assessment was conducted on 500 elderly drivers living in the community and the characteristics of driving risk perception were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that many elderly drivers are aware of the driving risk when their vision and hearing are impaired or when they find it difficult to adapt to changes in driving conditions. On the other hand, the characteristics of insensitive reactions to changes in medical health conditions, such as drug use or epilepsy, seizures, and loss of consciousness, were identified. The researcher hopes this study will contribute to the safety management of elderly drivers in Korea, where aging is accelerating.

The purpose of the present driving simulation study was to investigate the effects of fatigue induced both by sleep deprivation and time-on-task on driver's driving performance. The results are as followings. First, although the drivers in almost every experimental conditions showed faster driving speed than that was required, the drivers in the sleep-deprivation and over 1-hour time-on-task condition drove slower than the target speed. Second, the drivers in the sleep-deprivation and over 1-hour time-on-task condition crossed the lane less frequently than those in the other conditions, they weaved more in the lane. Third, as the drivers became more fatigued both by sleep deprivation and continuous driving, they reported higher fatigue scores in the subjective fatigue ratings. The results suggested that although the drivers might adapt a compensative driving strategies when they were fatigued, their driving performances were indeed impaired, in general.

The accidents caused by drivers while driving are considered as the major causes along with other causes such as conditions of roads, weather and cars. In this study, we investigated the driver's workloads under three different driving conditions (Weather, Driving time zone, and Traffic density) through analyzing biological signals obtained from a car driving simulator system. The proposed method is able to detect R waves and R-R interval calculation in the ECG. Heart rate variability (HRV) was investigated for the time domain to determine the changes in driver's conditions.

Recently, negative emotional responses by drivers are a growing problem, which leads to not only a traffic accident but a crime so called 'road rage' in countries with heavy traffics including South Korea. Under such a circumstance, measuring stress- and fatigue-induced emotional responses by means of wireless communication and a wearable system would be useful. The purpose of this study is to implement a system that measures various signals from a driver, derives and monitors his emotional responses from the measurements and verify its derivations with reliability. This paper, as a first part of the research, describes how the system has been implemented with experimental methods.

각 지역특성에 맞는 ATIS사업이 실현되기 위해서는 각 지역 통행자들의 노선선택 및 전환행태를 정확히 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 경상대를 연구대상으로 하여 대학출근운전자들의 노선선택 및 전환 행태를 정확히 파악하고 이들을 모형화하였다. 본 연구 대상지의 경우, 2개의 주 출근노선이 있으며 하나는 시내통행노선(노선 1)이고 다른 하나는 시외곽 통행노선(노선 2)이다. 노선1은 노선2에 비해 연장은 짧은 반면에 통행시간은 길며 신호교차로수. 우회전수도 많다. 먼저, 운전자의 노선선택행태모형을 통해 해석된 결과를 보면 시내노선에 대한 외곽노선의 상대적 효용이 아주 높으며, 전체적으로 출근운전자들은 짧은 통행시간을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 출근소요시간이 길고 라디오정보의 이용빈도가 높을수록 시내노선을 이용할 확률이 크며, 반면에 남성과 교직원인 운전자는 외곽노선을 이용할 확률이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 행태조사에 기초한 노선전환행태모형을 통해 해석된 결과를 보면 연령, 출근시간, 라디오정보의 이용빈도들이 전환성향에 유의한 영향을 가져오는 것으로 분석되었다. 가상의 교통정보제공시의 운전자의 노선전환을 모형화한 노선전환의사모형에서는 대개의 정보에 대해 운전자가 노선전환을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 모형에서 지체길이에 따른 전환경향을 보면 지체의 길이가 길수록 전환경향이 높아 30분정도의 지체길이에서는 반드시 변경하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구대상 운전자의 경우 전반적으로 기술적인 유고(Incident)정보보다는 정량적인 지체정보에 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다.

AVM(Around View Monitoring) 시스템은 차량 주변에 대한 영상을 운전자에게 제공함으로써 안전 운전을 도와주는 시스템이다. 측면 거울이나 실내 거울을 통해서 볼 수 없는 사각 지대는 운전자의 안전 운행에 위협이 된다. 사각지대는 특히 후진 주행, 주차, 좁은 골목길 주행, 굽은 길 회전 등에서 차량 파손 및 인사 사고의 원인이 된다. 이러한 위험을 피하기 위해 후방의 장애물을 감지하는 후방 센서나 후방 카메라 등과 같은 운전자의 시야를 개선하는 ECU들이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 이러한 ECU들의 도움을 받더라도 차량의 전, 후, 좌, 우 사방의 상황을 동시에 볼 수 없기 때문에 사고를 피하기 위해 운전자들은 주의를 기울여 운전해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 운전자의 안전 운행을 돕기 위해 차량 주변 영상을 실시간으로 제공하는 4SM 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 4SM 시스템은 차량의 전, 후, 좌, 우에 장착된 4대의 카메라로부터 입력된 영상을 통합하여 Bird's Eye View 영상을 운전자가 한 눈에 차량 주변 상황을 인식할 수 있도록 한다.
