Outline of Final Research Achievements

We proposed a method to quantify the safety of driver gaze behavior based on the relationship between the gaze directions and the positions and the risk levels of surrounding vehicles. Experimental results showed that driving instructors exhibit safer gaze behavior than other drivers. We also proposed a method of modeling the sequences and co-occurrence of driver gaze behavior and vehicle operation behavior. We modeled safe and risky lane change maneuvers based on gaze directions and discrete acts of vehicle operation behavior using hidden Markov models. We found that there were significant differences between the model parameters of safe and risky behavior. We then detected risky lane changes using the models. The integrated model of gaze and vehicle operation behavior achieved better risky lane change detection performance than the gaze-only and vehicle operation-only models.
