The EU-funded MEDIATOR project, coordinated by SWOV, is developing a system that mediates between human driver and the vehicle automation to ensure safe, real-time switching between the two, based on who is fittest to drive. Currently, the prototypes of the four main system components and their integration are getting shape.
On mediatorproject.eu the driver state component with the key concepts of fatigue, distraction and comfort is explained.
The development of the driver state component is a joint effort of Autoliv, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Technische Universität Chemnitz, Cygnify, Technische Universiteit Delft, FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SWOV Road Safety Research, Veoneer and Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI).
MEDIATOR has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 814735.
