• Abstract summary: Driver's cognitive ability at a given moment is the most elusive variable in assessing driver's safety. We develop a closed loop-method in which driver's ocular responses to visual probing were recorded. Machine-learning-algorithms were trained on ocular responses of vigilant condition and were able to detect decrease in capability due fatigue and substance abuse.

• Abstract: Driver's cognitive ability at a given moment is the most elusive variable in assessing driver's safety. In contrast to other physical conditions, such as short-sight, or manual disability cognitive ability is transient. Safety regulations attempt to reduce risk related to driver's cognitive ability by removing risk factors such as alcohol or drug consumption, forbidding secondary tasks such as texting, and urging drivers to take breaks when feeling tired. However, one cannot regulate all factors that affect driver's cognition, furthermore, the driver's momentary cognitive ability in most cases is covert even to driver. Here, we introduce an active approach aiming at monitoring a specific cognitive process that is affected by all these forementioned causes and directly affects the driver's performance in the driving task. We lean on the scientific approach that was framed by Karl Friston (Friston, 2010). We developed a closed loop-method in which driver's ocular responses to visual probing were recorded. Machine-learning-algorithms were trained on ocular responses of vigilant condition and were able to detect decrease in capability due fatigue and substance abuse. Our results show that we manage to correctly classify subjects with impaired and unimpaired cognitive process regardless of the cause of impairment (77% accuracy, 5% false alarms).

  The objectives of this paper include designing low-cost in-vehicle sensing hardware capable of obtaining high-precision positioning and telematics data. Our statistical analysis comparing drivers with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to those without reveals that those with MCI exhibit smoother and safer driving patterns. Our Random Forest models identified the number of night trips, number of trips, and education as the most influential factors in our data evaluation.

  We propose a warning system that uses human states in the form of driver errors. The system consists of a behavior planner Risk Maps which directly changes its prediction of the surrounding driving situation. In different simulations of a dynamic lane change and intersection scenarios, we show how the driver's behavior plan can become unsafe.
