Driver Monitoring, Risk Perception and Automated Vehicles

该项目的目的是使用人类心理生理学测量，如眼睛和头部跟踪，座位和身体位置等，以确定车辆自动化如何影响参与者参与驾驶任务，并了解驾驶员在参与自动化时的行为。随着自动驾驶系统性能的提高，驾驶员参与驾驶任务的需求越来越少。但是，如果系统达到其极限，或者车辆到达不再可能实现自动化的道路尽头，车辆需要确保驾驶员处于安全且准备就绪的状态，以便从车辆恢复控制并重新进行手动驾驶。这种将控制权移交给驾驶员的过程必须得到驾驶员监控系统的支持，该系统可以确定驾驶员是否警觉并有能力恢复控制。因此，拟议的研究方案将确定哪种类型的监测能够成功地提供这些信息，并研究确保驾驶员无法完全脱离对车辆的控制的方法。了解如何让驾驶员保持警惕，同时又不厌倦监控自动化，也是这个项目的一个重要考虑因素。

The aim of this project is to use human psychophysiological measures such as eye and head tracking, seat and body position etc., to establish how vehicle automation affects participants' engagement in the driving task and to understand what drivers do when automation is engaged. As the automated systems advance in capability, there is less and less call for drivers to be involved in the driving task. However, should the system reach its limitations or the vehicle come to the end of a road where automation is no longer possible, the vehicle needs to ensure that the driver is in a safe and ready state to resume control from the vehicle and re-engage in manual driving. This transition of control back to the driver must be supported by a driver monitoring system which establishes whether the driver is alert and capable of resuming control. The proposed research programme will therefore establish what type of monitoring is successful in providing this information and also investigate methods for ensuring the driver is not able to completely disengage from control of the vehicle. Understanding how to keep the driver vigilant, yet not bored of monitoring automation, is also an important consideration of this project.
