Cover Story: Monitoring the driver of a vehicle can reduce the possibility of traffic accidents and can minimize corresponding damages. This paper presents an experimental analysis of a new driver monitoring device with low-cost sensors. The system is composed of wearable units for the head, neck, and torso, which are equipped with inertial measurement sensors (IMUs) to record data on the occupant’s head, neck, and torso accelerations while the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle’s steering wheel is equipped with two laser infrared distance sensors to record the position data of the head and neck. Additionally, an IMU is installed to measure vehicle acceleration. A new index has also been formulated to analyze the risk of whiplash injury in vehicle occupants resulting from an impact. View this paper
