Abstract
The Driver Situation Assessment module developed in the EU-funded FP6 integrated project AIDE (Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle Interface), provides a real time diagnosis of a number of driver parameters in order to enable different adaptive driver-vehicle interface functions. It is composed by: (1) The Driver Characteristics Module that personalises the HMI of in-vehicle ADAS/IVIS, according to driver static characteristics, the context of and his/her preferences and residual abilities, (2) the Driver State Degradation Module that evaluates the evolution of the driver's drowsiness, (3) the Cockpit Activity Assessment Module, focused on secondary task activities, that monitors aspects of the driver’s activity and (4) the Driver Availability Estimator that assesses the driver’s “level of availability” to receive and process information, according to the requirements of the current driving task.
