Abstract
Driver Characteristics (DC), Driver Availability
Estimator (DAE), Driver State Degradation (DSD), Traffic
and Environment Assessment (TERA) and Cockpit Activity
Assessment (CAA) are the basic modules to be designed for
profiling the driver. The modules process information
available from a camera, CAN bus, and a navigation
system. VTT is working with the CAA module which is
described here. The module is developed in close
co-operation with Volvo Technology, Siemens VDO and Fiat.
The aim of CAA is to adapt warnings or aids from the
driver assistance systems to the driver's level of
attention on the driving task. The DAE module is focused
on the primary tasks (i.e. how much pedals, steering
wheels, etc. are used). On the other hand, CAA estimates
the driver's mental load caused by the secondary tasks,
e.g. operating radio, phone calls, daydreaming, etc.
