Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate effect of driver's cognitive distraction on driver's physiological state and driving performance, and then to determine parameters appropriate for detecting the cognitive distraction. Background: Driver distraction is a major cause of traffic accidents and poses a serious threat to traffic safety due to ever increasing use of in-vehicle information systems and mobile phones during driving. Cognitive distraction, among four different types of distractions, prevents a driver from processing traffic information correctly and adapting to change in surround vehicle behavior in time. However, the cognitive distraction is more difficult to detect because it normally does not involve significant change in driver behavior. Method: A full-scale driving simulator was used to create virtual driving environment and situations. Participants in the experiment drove the driving simulator in three different conditions: attentive driving with no secondary task, driving and conducting secondary task of adding numbers, and driving and conducting secondary task of conversing with an experimenter. Parameters related with driver's physiological state and driving performance were measured and analyzed for their change. Results: The experiment results show that driver's cognitive distraction, induced by secondary task of addition and conversation during driving, increased driver's cognitive workload, and indeed brought change in driver's physiological state and degraded driving performance. Conclusion: The galvanic skin response, pupil size, steering reversal rate, and driver reaction time are shown to be statistically significant for detecting cognitive distraction. The appropriate combination of these parameters will be used to detect the cognitive distraction and estimate risk of traffic accidents in real-time for a driver distraction warning system.

In this paper, we propose a development method for a drowsiness detection system using retinex theory and edge information for vehicle safety. Detection of a drowsy state of a driver is very important because the drowsiness of driver is often the main cause of many car accidents. After acquiring an image of the entire face, we executed the pre-process step using the retinex theory. We then applied a technique for the detection of the white pixels using edge information. Experimental results showed that the proposed method improved the accuracy of detecting drowsiness to nearly 98%, and can be used to prevent a car accident caused by the driver's drowsiness.

Current delivery system, in which the analog current produced by a unique DAC circuit is stored into a current-memory circuit and delivered in a time-divided sequence, shows variation of output current as low as 4% in a current source data-driver IC for AM-OLED driven by a current-programmed method without any fuse repairing after fabrication. This driver IC has 54 outputs and can sink constant current as low as 3 ${\mu}A$ with 6-bit analog levels. Such a low current level without variation can hardly be obtained by an ordinary MOS transistor because the current level is in the sub-threshold region and changes exponentially with threshold voltage variation. Thus we adopted a current mirror circuit composed of bipolar transistors to supply well-controlled current within a nano-ampere range.

In this paper, automatic sunvisor system is introduced for driver's safety and convenience. This system has the mechanism which keeps the sun off without obstruction of driver's sight. The mechanism can make the sunvisor move forward or rotate left while remaining inside inner roof. The control system consists of a CPU, a motor driver, light sensors, and the algorithm that can control the movement of sunvisor efficiently. When the light sensors take the sun light, they give the signal to the CPU and the CPU calculates the best position of the sunvisor with the information of driver's eyes height. Then, the CPU gives the signal to motors that can move the sunvisor.

In this paper for developing and implementing the car driver's front lane attention enhancement developed system using the car camera. The developed system automatically alarm the car driver when front cars make the dangerous situation. We use Raspberry Pi camera module V2 as car camera module, Raspberry Pi 3 board as hardware main board of implementing embedded system and develop the application library module which can be operated on the Raspberry situation. The application library module widely consist of two part, front car recognition part and dangerous situation distinguish part. Our developed system satisfy the performance test of the target system at the software test certification laboratory of TTA(Telecommunication Technology Association). We test four items as attentive car recognition ability at day and night, system performance, response time. We get the performance of developed system based on the four goal. The car driver's front lane attention enhancement system in this paper will be widely used at the ADAS(Advanced Driving Assistance System) because of the better performance and function.

본 논문에서는 자율주행차량에서 사용되는 고가의 다채널 라이다(LiDAR) 센서를 다수의 저가 소채널 라이다들로 대체하여 사용하는 경우에 다수의 라이다들을 하나의 라이다로 가상화하는 드라이버를 제안한다. 이를 통해 로봇 분야에서 하나의 물리 라이다를 가정하여 개발된 SLAM(Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) 알고리즘들은 수정 없이 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문은 제안하는 드라이버를 로봇운영체제 ROS(Robot Operating System) 상에서 구현하고 SLAM 알고리즘과 함께 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 제안한 드라이버는 3차원 점지도의 점밀도를 제어하는 필터와 함께 기존 알고리즘의 수정 없이 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Navigation system is regarded as the interface border line between the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the driver as the prospective information provider of the ATIS (Advanced Traveler Information System). Following theory, if the navigation system appropriately designed and utilized, that can maximize the transport efficiency, contribute to improvements of the environments and road safety. To accomplish these dinds of objectives of the navigation system use, human factors plays an important roles specially focused on the driver's safety, performance and system usability. Because the effectiveness of the system depends on the acceptance of the system, and the extent to which the system conforms to driver physical and cognitive limitations and capabilities. Therefore, the ergonomic design vaniables must be seriously selected and reflected in early design step for more effective and appreciate product design. As the first step of this aim, this study selected and categorized the human factors design variables of the navigation system.

An intelligent light emitting diode (LED) dimming system is designed and implemented for energy-saving lighting systems. An LED light bulb is powered by an LED driver controlled by a microcontroller using pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. By changing the duty cycle of the PWM signals, the LED driver generates a driving current of up to 1,000 mA. The current consumption by the LED light bulb exhibits a very linear characteristic that indicates that the level of LED dimming can be finely tuned. Multiple sensors-lighting intensity and ultrasonic range sensors-are combined with the LED dimming system to realize an automatically controllable LED lighting system. The light intensity sensor is capable of sensing ambient light. The ultrasonic range sensor can detect objects from 0.15 to 5.6 m at a resolution of 0.0254 m. The collected information by the light intensity and ultrasonic range sensors is processed by the microcontroller that in turn automatically controls the brightness of the LED light bulb. The algorithm of the software for the LED dimming system is also described.
