- Improving safer transport includes individual and collective behavioural aspects and their interaction. A system that can monitor and evaluate the human cognitive and physical capacities based on human factor measurement is often beneficial to improve safety in driving condition. However, analysis and evaluation of human factor measurement i.e. Demographics, Behavioural and Physiological in real-time is challenging. This paper presents a methodology for cloud-based data analysis, categorization and metrics correlation in real-time through a H2020 project called SimuSafe. Initial implementation of this methodology shows a step-by-step approach which can handle huge amount of data with variation and verity in the cloud.

- The human factor plays a key role in the automotive field since most accidents are due to drivers' unsafe and risky behaviors. The industry is now pursuing two main solutions to deal with this concern: in the short term, there is the development of systems monitoring drivers' psychophysical states, such as inattention and fatigue, and in the medium-long term, there is the development of fully autonomous driving. This second solution is promoted by recent technological progress in terms of Artificial Intelligence and sensing systems aimed at making vehicles more and more accurately aware of their "surroundings." However, even with an autonomous vehicle, the driver should be able to take control of the vehicle when needed, especially during the current transition from the lower (SAE < 3) to the highest level (SAE = 5) of autonomous driving. In this scenario, the vehicle has to be aware not only of its "surroundings" but also of the driver's psychophysical state, i.e., a user-centered Artificial Intelligence. The neurophysiological approach is one the most effective in detecting improper mental states. This is particularly true if considering that the more automatic the driving will be, the less available the vehicular data related to the driver's driving style. The present study aimed at employing a holistic approach, considering simultaneously several neurophysiological parameters, in particular, electroencephalographic, electrooculographic, photopletismographic, and electrodermal activity data to assess the driver's mental fatigue in real time and to detect the onset of fatigue increasing. This would ideally work as an information/trigger channel for the vehicle AI. In all, 26 professional drivers were engaged in a 45-min-lasting realistic driving task in simulated conditions, during which the previously listed biosignals were recorded. Behavioral (reaction times) and subjective measures were also collected to validate the experimental design and to support the neurophysiological results discussion. Results showed that the most sensitive and timely parameters were those related to brain activity. To a lesser extent, those related to ocular parameters were also sensitive to the onset of mental fatigue, but with a delayed effect. The other investigated parameters did not significantly change during the experimental session.

- Analysis of physiological signals, electroencephalography in more specific notion, is considered as a very promising technique to obtain objective measures for mental workload evaluation, however, it requires complex apparatus to record and thus with poor usability in monitoring in-vehicle drivers’mental workload. This study proposes amethodology of constructing a novel mutual information-based feature set from the fusion of electroencephalography and vehicular signals acquired through real driving experiment and deployed in evaluating drivers’ mental workload. Mutual information of electroencephalography and vehicular signals were used as the prime factor for the fusion of features. In order to assess the reliability of the developed feature set mental workload score prediction, classification and event classification tasks were performed using different machine learning models. Moreover, features extracted from electroencephalography were used to compare the performance. In the prediction of mental workload score, expert-defined scores were used as the target values. For classification tasks, true labels were set from contextual information of the experiment. An extensive evaluation of every prediction tasks was carried out using different validation methods. In predicting mental workload score from the proposed feature set lowest mean absolute error was 0.09 and for classifying mental workload highest accuracy was 94%. According to the outcome of the study, it can be stated that the novel mutual information based features developed through the proposed approach can be employed to classify and monitor in-vehicle drivers’ mental workload.

- In the pursuit of reducing traffic accidents, drivers' mental workload (MWL) has been considered as one of the vital aspects. To measure MWL in different driving situations Electroencephalography (EEG) of the drivers has been studied intensely. However, in the literature, mostly, manual analytic methods are applied to extract and select features from the EEG signals to quantify drivers' MWL. Nevertheless, the amount of time and effort required to perform prevailing feature extraction techniques leverage the need for automated feature extraction techniques. This work investigates deep learning (DL) algorithm to extract and select features from the EEG signals during naturalistic driving situations. Here, to compare the DL based and traditional feature extraction techniques, a number of classifiers have been deployed. Results have shown that the highest value of area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) is 0.94, achieved using the features extracted by CNN-AE and support vector machine. Whereas, using the features extracted by the traditional method, the highest value of AUC-ROC is 0.78 with the multi-layer perceptron. Thus, the outcome of this study shows that the automatic feature extraction techniques based on CNN-AE can outperform the manual techniques in terms of classification accuracy.
