| Summary: | Nowadays, detection of driver’s fatigue is a major concern in vehicle design, road safety and transportation research.
Driving tasks requires full attention from the drivers while operating the vehicle. Occasionally, drivers are exposed to
perform other activities such as talking to a passenger and using an in-vehicle technology or phone which is known as
secondary task while driving. Thus, this study aims to analyse the driver’s performance via three types of physiological
measurements in a simulated condition. An integrated approach by combining subjective and objective methods were used
in this study. There are Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Heart Rate (HR). Twelve
participants were recruited to evaluate their responses towards different types of secondary tasks and disruptions in
25-minutes of driving duration. The findings showed that there are differences in physiological responses for this driving
session. Beta Activity shows higher event-related power modulation values from start until the end of the driving session.
In conclusion, the type of disruption during driving and secondary tasks shows different findings towards driver driving
performances. This study can be used as reference to drivers and related agencies by taking into account the physiological
effects of driver’s performance based on different secondary tasks and disruptions while driving. |
