Several studies have been conducted some decades ago to understand driver drowsiness, its assessment and the ways to mitigate its effects to avoid or reduce fatal road crashes. The driver self-report is a subjective measurement well admitted in the drowsiness context. However, studies that compare the driver’s self-report with observer ratings are very scarce. ThisRead more

Driver monitoring systems (DMS) hold promise for improving road safety by detecting driver drowsiness and distraction, but what if these systems fall short? How do limitations in the algorithm’s capabilities to provide signals that are both robust and accurate affect the system’s ability to enhance traffic safety? This talk will delve into: the shortcomings ofRead more

How can light pulses in the vehicle interior improve the performance and well-being of the passengers? Scientists at the Fraunhofer IAO are researching answers to this question at the Mass Personalization High-Performance Center in the “Mobility and Living Spaces” department. As part of an international research collaboration with a non-profit scientific research foundation, an initialRead more

This presentation explores the multifaceted capabilities of in-car cameras and user interfaces with “eyes”. Focusing on enhancing user experience (UX) through occupant monitoring systems, we demonstrate how AI can generate user interfaces (GenUIn). The discussion is emphasizing the integration of Generative AI models, deep learning and sensor fusion to unlock the full potential of automotiveRead more

New regulations in Europe and elsewhere around the world are altering human interactions in cars. From safety to security to content consumption – in-car experiences taking advantage of driver monitoring for credentialing drivers and detecting driver mood, health, and attentiveness. This is opening the door to new opportunities for designers and engineers.Read more

The utilization of generative AI plays a pivotal role in influencing the evolution of Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) by emphasizing a transition from traditional manual design methods to harness the capabilities of conversational AI driven by language modules. Through the exploration of the fusion of contextual comprehension and generative features, a distinctive approach is uncovered, reshapingRead more
