# 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.

## Key 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.
