Overview

Background & policy context:

Due to substantial gains in road safety on many factors, the share of accidents caused by defects of attention increases.

Objectives:

The issue of the ATLAS project is to estimate the on-accident risks associated with attention flaws and understand their causes or origins and their effects on driving.

Methodology:

This project offers an innovative approach to leverage knowledge for the development of driver monitoring system. In this context, only supervised learning techniques used to identify driver distraction (support vector machine and Bayesian network) obtain encouraging results but these analyses are still often too difficult because the effect of inattention can vary greatly from a driving situation to another and from one type to another conductor. By developing an experimental approach to master certain parameters of influence, this project will allow substantial progress.
