Abstract

In Queensland, inattention and fatigue respectively contribute to 27 per cent and 5 per cent of reported crashes. Vigilance decline is characterised by an increased or absence of response to critical events. The current technology to assess and prevent vigilance decline is based on the isolate use of a particular device such as eye tracker or steering wheel movements. The reliability of these devices is debatable as the value of the readings could be highly inaccurate, uncertain, partial, conflicting or unreliable. Furthermore, there has been very little research examining the use of multiple devices to diagnose vigilance decline. The aim of this paper is to use belief theory to assess driver’s vigilance. Our approach consists of merging a set of measurements, related to the environment, driver,and vehicle, gathered from different Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This paper presents the theoretical basis leading to the development of an advanced in-vehicle system capable of assessing vigilance decline.
