自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者通常难以独立运作，并显示与适应性独立相关的重要任务（如驾驶）相关的障碍。驾驶能力被认为是ASD患者生活质量的重要因素。所介绍的工作描述了一种基于虚拟城市环境的新型驾驶模拟器，该模拟器将在未来用于向ASD青少年传授驾驶技能作为干预的一部分。生理数据采集系统用于采集和处理参与者的生理信号，眼动仪用于检测眼睛注视信号，每个都集成到驾驶模拟器中。这些生理和眼睛注视指数被记录和计算，以推断参与者在驾驶时的实时情感状态。基于参与者的情感状态以及他/她的表现，驾驶模拟器自适应地改变任务的难度水平。这种基于VR的驾驶模拟器将能够操纵驾驶任务的难度，以响应在任务期间记录的生理和眼睛注视指数。本文介绍了这种新型驾驶模拟器系统的设计和测试数据，以验证其功能。
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often have difficulty functioning independently and display impairments related to important tasks related to adaptive independence such as driving. Ability to drive is believed to be an important factor of quality of life for individuals with ASD. The presented work describes a novel driving simulator based on a virtual city environment that will be used in the future to impart driving skills to teenagers with ASD as a part of intervention. A physiological data acquisition system, which was used to acquire and process participant's physiological signals, and an eye tracker, which was utilized to detect eye gaze signals, were each integrated into the driving simulator. These physiological and eye gaze indices were recorded and computed to infer the affective states of the participant in real-time when he/she was driving. Based on the affective states of the participant together with his/her performance, the driving simulator adaptively changes the difficulty level of the task. This VR-based driving simulator will be capable of manipulating the driving task difficulty in response to the physiological and eye gaze indices recorded during the task. The design of this novel driving simulator system and testing data to validate its functionalities are presented in this paper.
