next-Generation driver-vEhicle interactioN: real-tIme mUltimodal take-over control System

Project description

Innovative take-over control system for conditionally automated vehicles

The rise of artificial intelligence, automation and digital technologies has led to an increase in automated and conditionally automated driving (CAD), which focuses on improving driver and passenger safety. However, producers must enhance the interactivity between CAD and the driver to implement safety effectively with current take-over control (TOC) systems not being optimised for the driver's immediate conditions. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme the GENIUS project aims to develop a novel TOC system that uses real-time multimodal interaction systems and biometric sensors to adjust to driver readiness, physiological status and awareness. The system's overall aim is to improve safety and efficiency. GENIUS therefore paves the way to higher levels of vehicle automation and improved TOC.

Objective

In the midst of the automation revolution, the GENIUS project confronts a critical challenge, ensuring the seamless transition from autonomous to manual control, referred to as driver take-over control (TOC), within conditionally automated vehicles (CAD). As automation reshapes the transportation landscape, prioritizing safety during TOC is paramount. GENIUS introduces an innovative, real-time, multimodal interaction system tailored to optimize both the time and quality of TOC, leveraging biometric sensors to gauge driver readiness, awareness, and physiological status. This adaptable system dynamically adjusts TOC using interaction modalities while tailoring the experience to the unique characteristics of individual drivers.
Beyond its immediate applications, GENIUS holds the potential to enhance TOC in higher levels of vehicle automation. Through the integration of advanced machine learning techniques and comprehensive experiments within a sophisticated driving simulator, GENIUS seeks to redefine TOC prediction in a wide range of real-world driving scenarios. Embracing an interdisciplinary approach, the project collaborates with experts in psychology and the automotive industry, ensuring a comprehensive and effective solution. GENIUS represents a significant leap forward in driver safety and experience in the age of automation, contributing to a safer and more efficient future on our roads.
