Enhancing road safety: In-vehicle sensor analysis of cognitive impairment in older drivers
摘要
With the ongoing expansion of the aging population, it is increasingly critical to prioritize the safety of older drivers. The objective of this study is to utilize sensor data in order to detect early indications of impairment, thereby facilitating proactive interventions and enhancing road safety for the elderly. This article provides an overview of the research approach, presents significant results, and analyzes the consequences of utilizing in-vehicle sensors i.e. vision and telematics, to mitigate cognitive decline among elderly drivers; in doing so, it promotes progress in the domains of public health and transportation safety by standardizing the use of such devices to automatically assess the drivers’ cognitive functions.
