title: An integrated platform to assess driver's physiological and functional states.
abstract: Physiological signals like Heart Rate, Respiration and Skin Resistance are relevant indicators to evaluate driver's mental state. Therefore, most methods based on physiological signals measurements have been improved on driving simulators or in experimental laboratories under carefully controlled conditions and rigorous protocols. To study driver's behavior in actual conditions, we have developed an in-vehicle system which could record contextual driving information, drivers' actions and physiological signals related to them. Recordings from the driver and the vehicle may give valuable information for a close estimation of driver's functional state, its evolution across time and thus a better understanding of driver's behavior. This system provides specific patterns related to the driver's functional state, according to the driving context. This paper is aimed to present the design and implementation of this system, well adapted to ergonomics.
