心電図・呼吸測定によるドライバー状態推定システムの開発

Abstract

Most of the traffic accidents are caused by unintentional behavior of driver, so called careless mistakes. Human error is the most serious problem to prevent traffic accidents. If drivers can recognize their physical condition objectively, it is possible to avoid accidents caused by unreasonable or imprudent behavior. Electrocardiogram and respiration are easily affected by mental state and physical condition and they are possible to measure without interfering driving operation. In this paper we propose a system presuming the condition of driver by checking electrocardiogram and respiration while driving. We developed an experimental equipments to measure cardiograph and respiration and a method to remove noise caused by muscle movement is discussed.
