Abstract

This paper presents a particular methodology to monitor the level of vigilance of an operator in the context of a complex human-machine system. The apparatus consider the instrumentation of a car with several sensors and HMI equipment, developed within the European project SENSATION. We present the SENSATION sensors used in this experiment, the methodology to monitor the level of vigilance and the Human Machine Interface (HMI). For the evaluation of this methodology some experiments were carried-out with car drivers in an on-road condition. Experiments show promising results for a reliable driverpsilas monitoring systems.
