Driver Monitoring: How, When, and Why?

In this Video, Anaïs Halin, research scientist at the University of Liège, presents her newest paper: “Survey and Synthesis of State of the Art in Driver Monitoring”. She describes the role of driver monitoring at each of the 6 SAE levels of driving automation. She then focuses on the first step of driver monitoring and explains, by surveying and synthesizing the literature, how to characterize the state of drivers using indicators and sensors based on information from the driver, the vehicle, and the environment. Finally, Anaïs briefly describes the main challenges of driver monitoring.

Dear Anais, Thank you for excellent presentation, I want to know for Level 3 and higher What are DMS requirements, It is required to be Seat monitoring along with driver, Apart from regulation DDAW, we need state of Driver to take over within Known time

[@anaishalin546]

Thank you for your nice comment!
Currently, there is almost no legal requirement for DMSs. According to the European regulation, new vehicles will soon have to be equipped with DDAW systems to monitor the alertness/drowsiness and warn the driver if needed. And it should be followed by ADDW systems to monitor the distraction.
However, in my scientific paper (doi.org/10.3390/s21165558) from which the video was inspired, I give my personal perspective on the matter. And, in my opinion, we should indeed monitor the driver at Level 3 to ensure that he/she is capable of responding to a take-over-request in a timely manner, which implies that the driver should be in his/her seat in an adequate state.

Dear Anais,
I was looking for Heart rate and breathing would be ideal indicator for driver health, before you enter to odd System can decide Autonomous function can be enabled for the user or not, As risk of time for the driver to overtake driving tasks within odd is high and also when to enable AESA Automatic Emergency stop assist, so need to know if you have any information how to get such details of the driver only Camera based solutions will not help, May be Radar based would help. Your thoughts on this would be helpful.
