Enhancing cross-dataset performance in distracted driver detection using body part activity recognition.
Detecting distracted drivers is a crucial task, and the literature proposes various deep learning-based methods. Among these methods, convolutional neural networks dominate because they can extract and learn image features automatically. However, even though existing methods have reported …

Lane keeping under cognitive distractions: performance and mechanisms
… Three studies have been carried out to assess drivers’ responsiveness to heavy lateral winds under varying levels of cognitive load. Data showed that cognitive load reduced the variability of lane position but increased the variability of vehicle speed, engendering more frequent steering …

An Investigation of the Effectiveness of A Strobe Light As An Imminent Rear Warning Signal
… could also be applied to more effectively warn distracted drivers of an unexpected rear end conflict. This "proof of concept study" used a 2 x 2 between-subjects design using thirty-three subjects (16 subjects in the strobe condition, 17 subjects in the no strobe condition) who were divided into …

Fixation Patterns of Driving Scenes as a Function of Task Load and Task Goal
<p>Distracted driving has been a heavily researched area, and the negative impacts it has on driving performance is well known. Eye movement patterns of distracted drivers have also been studied, though insight into what the driver specifically looks at is not as well known. Researchers have …

Driver Comprehension of Integrated Collision Avoidance System Alerts Presented through a Haptic Driver Seat
Active safety systems that warn automobile drivers of various types of impending collisions have been developed. How these systems alert drivers when integrated, however, is a crucial component to their effectiveness that hinges on the consideration of human factors. Drivers' ability to comprehend …

Optimizing the selection of rumble strip design and construction
… in-vehicle noise for alerting inattentive drivers who are about to leave their travel lanes and/or approach stop-controlled intersections. Despite these safety benefits, they generate external noise levels that often cause disturbance and noise complaints from nearby residents. To address …

Analysis of crash and survey data to identify young drivers' distractions in Kansas
Young drivers are over-represented in crashes when compared to other age group drivers. Distracted driving is one of the major causes of traffic crashes by young drivers. The objective of this study was to assess the hazards of distracted driving among teenage (15–20 year old) and young-adult …
