| Research Abstract |
1. Research Purpose
An easy-to-use human interface is indispensable to improve the ITS technology widely accepted by vehicle user. In these researches, we develop fundamental technologies such as driver's status detection, information display, adaptive technique to individual differences. Beside that, we evaluate an effectiveness of these technologies using an in-vehicle information system, and then present a next plan for in-vehicle devices.
2. Research Results
1) Technology for detecting driver's status
(1) Detection of driver's drowsiness
We've development the method for estimating an arousal level by blink duration using image-processing technology.
(2) Detection of inattentive driving
We have presented the method of measuring an eye gaze direction in practical time.
(3) Detection of concentration to mobile phone while driving
We have developed method of detecting a concentration level from the range and speed in eye movement.
2) Technology for offering vehicle information
(1) Easy-to-see display
We have improved the method for elderly driver to see easily based on driver's visual acuity and viewing distance.
(2) Warning in emergency
We've presented the warning method of considering driving emergency and driver's arousal level.
(3) Recognizable display
We have developed the route guidance method for women to recognize easily based on differences in space perception ability.
The next plan is to improve technologies for discriminating individuals and adapting to each user.
