• Abstract summary: We analyze the effects of mental workload and perceptual load on psychophysiological dimensions. We classify the mental and perceptual load levels through the fusion of these measurements. We report up to 89% mental workload classification accuracy and provide a real-time minimally-intrusive solution.

• Abstract: Several researchers have focused on studying driver cognitive behavior and mental load for in-vehicle interaction while driving. Adaptive interfaces that vary with mental and perceptual load levels could help in reducing accidents and enhancing the driver experience. In this paper, we analyze the effects of mental workload and perceptual load on psychophysiological dimensions and provide a machine learning-based framework for mental and perceptual load estimation in a dual task scenario for in-vehicle interaction (https://github.com/amrgomaaelhady/MWL-PL-estimator). We use off-the-shelf non-intrusive sensors that can be easily integrated into the vehicle's system. Our statistical analysis shows that while mental workload influences some psychophysiological dimensions, perceptual load shows little effect. Furthermore, we classify the mental and perceptual load levels through the fusion of these measurements, moving towards a real-time adaptive in-vehicle interface that is personalized to user behavior and driving conditions. We report up to 89% mental workload classification accuracy and provide a real-time minimally-intrusive solution.

  This paper introduces the Human-Like Trajectory Prediction (H) model, which adopts a teacher-student knowledge distillation framework. The "teacher" model mimics the visual processing of the human brain, particularly the functions of the occipital and temporal lobes. The "student" model focuses on real-time interaction and decision-making, capturing essential perceptual cues for accurate prediction.

Machine-learning-algorithms were trained on ocular responses of vigilant condition and were able to detect decrease in capability due fatigue and substance abuse.

An analysis of the neural activation traces of the trained networks provides evidence that information is coded in fundamentally different ways in the network in the individual and in the social conditions.

We present a benchmark consisting of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT, structured around four scenarios.
