DREAMs: Enhancing DriveR IntEraction with digital Media through cognitive monitoring

这项名为DREAMS(通过认知监测增强驾驶员与数字媒体的交互)的研究计划旨在开发一种先进的人机交互系统，该系统：(A)在日常生活中提供主动和无缝的支持；(B)利用智能传感器、多模式和数据聚合来实现增强技术使用的服务；以及(C)模拟用户行为，检测上下文的变化并进行相应调整，以实现主动。 这个项目的动机是由行业合作者开发的一些用户案例场景，这些场景被作为关键研究问题提交给申请者。这一举措的一个主要应用是开发一种新型的驾驶员评估和监控系统，该系统：a)持续观察驾驶员的注意力和认知状态，b)提供实时调整，以及c)通过调节媒体整合和车内连接来增强整体驾驶体验，同时提高驾驶员的安全性。 该提案涉及信息和通信技术目标领域内的主要技术挑战。预计预期结果将对加拿大数字媒体和信息通信技术(ICT)行业产生重大推动作用，并对加拿大经济和社会产生积极影响。

The research initiative entitled DREAMs (enhancing Driver inteRaction with digital mEdiA through cognitive Monitoring) aims to develop an advanced human-computer interaction system that: (a) provides pro-active and seamless support in daily life situations, (b) utilizes smart sensors, multi-modality, and data aggregation to enable services that enhance technology usage, and (c) models user behavior, detects changes in context and adapts accordingly to achieve pro-activeness. This project was motivated by a number of user-case scenarios developed by the industrial collaborators which were presented as key research problems to the applicants. A principal application within this initiative is the development of a novel driver evaluation and monitoring system which: a) continuously observes the driver's attention and cognitive state, b) provides real time adjustments, and c) enhances the overall driving experience by regulating media integration and in-car connectivity while enhancing driver safety. The proposal addresses key technical challenges within the context of the Information and Communications Technologies target area. The anticipated results are expected to provide a significant boost to the Canadian digital media and information communications technology (ICT) industries and create a positive impact to Canadian economy and society.
