Abstract

Driving fatigue estimation from changes in the body pressure distribution while driving for a long period of time was considered. The feasibility of an estimation method was examined, which estimated fatigue by determining whether the changes of the load center position (LCP) were greater than those in ordinary driving. Three continuous simulated driving tasks (Sessions 1-3) that lasted a duration of 2 hours were conducted twice for each of 12 subjects. Driving fatigue in Sessions 2 and 3 was estimated by comparing the change of the LCP with those in the "ordinary driving" of Session 1. The results illustrated the potential of the method.
