Which parts of the road guide obstacle avoidance? Quantifying the driver's risk field

Gibson and Crooks (1938) argued that a ‘field of safe travel’ could qualitatively explain drivers' steering behavior on straights, curved roads, and while avoiding obstacles. This study aims to quantitatively explain driver behavior while avoiding obstacles on a straight road, and quantify the ‘Driver's Risk Field’ (DRF). In a fixed-based...

From Mackworth’s clock to the open road: A literature review on driver vigilance task operationalization

Objective<br/>This review aimed to characterize tasks applied in driving research, in terms of instructions/conditions, signal types/rates, and component features in comparison to the classic vigilance literature.<br/><br/>Background<br/>Driver state monitoring is facing increased attention with evolving vehicle automation, and real-time...
