A study of posture judgement on vehicles using wearable acceleration sensor

TL;DR

This paper investigates methods to estimate drivers' posture in vehicles using wearable acceleration sensors, aiming to enhance safety management through field tests with a shirt-type sensor.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to assess driving posture using wearable sensors, addressing the challenge of vehicle acceleration interference.

Findings

Effective posture estimation method developed

Field tests demonstrate practical applicability

Potential for improved vehicle safety management

Abstract

We study methods to estimate drivers' posture in vehicles using acceleration data of wearable sensor and conduct field tests. To prevent fatal accidents, demands for safety management of bus and taxi are high. However, acceleration of vehicles is added to wearable sensor in vehicles. Therefore, we study methods to estimate driving posture using acceleration data acquired from shirt type wearable sensor hitoe and conduct field tests.
