Summary

• What is new: A study exploring drivers’ preferences for receiving alerts during different driving scenarios and how these preferences change with the driver’s attention level.
• Why this is important: Distracted driving is a major cause of road accidents, and there’s a need for better driver (in)attention detection to alert drivers effectively.
• What the research proposes: Conduct a user study to understand drivers’ preferred modes of communication in various driving scenarios and how these preferences evolve with their distraction state.
• Results: The study reveals diverse preferences for alert modes depending on the driving scenario and shows that these preferences change as the driver’s attention level changes.

Technical Details

Technological frameworks used: Simulated driving scenarios in video format
