Systems
Driver
Drowsiness, Driver Distraction, Driver Fatigue and Workload are among the most
significant factors contributing to traffic accidents that result in the loss
of thousands of lives and billions of dollars annually. The problems have
worsened with ever-growing traffic conditions, increasing number of electronic
devices in cars and other commercial vehicles that compete for the driver's
attention, and the ever-increasing distractions both inside and outside the
vehicle that divert the driver's attention. These problems have caused major
safety concerns and have attracted the attention of government, academia and
private industry.
Research
community has been actively involved to address these problems and various
techniques/systems have been developed over the years to perform real time
online driver status monitoring. The objectives of this special session are.
The
session will feature invited speakers and panel discussions. Original research
that focuses on the non-intrusive and real time monitoring of driver fatigue,
Driver drowsiness, Driver distraction, Driver workload, Inattention and other
similar aspects is being solicited. If you are interested in participating in
this special session or to be an invited speaker please contact the session organizers.
