Abstract :
In order to support driving behavior more safely, we are developing a detector of driver´s fatigue. As one of the detectors, we examined the possibility of postural change, which is measured by pressure between a driver and a seat. It was found the change of load center position represented the change of driver´s posture and was a good index to presume fatigue.
