Title:

Heart Rate Detection for Driver Monitoring Systems

Accession Number:

01623711

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Current driver monitoring systems use steering behavior and driver ocular parameters as inputs. As NHTSA level-2 and 3 vehicles are introduced into the market, more accurate monitoring systems are needed. This study aims to investigate whether average heart rate may be used as an accurate metrics of mental workload. Participants with different age ranges drove on-road vehicles and interacted with vehicles’ infotainment. Results showed that the average heart rate measured via a commercial-use heart monitor increased during the interaction with the vehicle’s infotainment system compared to the single-task condition. Further, as the task became more demanding, younger drivers showed a higher heart rate compared to older drivers. These results are of the primary importance for the design of adaptive workload monitoring systems.
