State of the art on endogenous factors for monitoring driver state and exogenous factors for task demand assessment and technologies for monitoring driver state and task demand

In this report variables that influence the level of individual risk in a given traffic situation are identified. These can either be endogenous factors for monitoring driver state (such as distraction, fatigue or cognitive impairment) or exogenous factors such as weather, time of day and traffic conditions which can increase the task complexity. A common set of validated indicators will be synthesised and combined to assess the individual level of risk (safety tolerance zone). Furthermore the report will describe the results of the review (and if necesseray pré-testing) of in-vehicle technology to measure the identified endogenous and exogenous factors in a reliable way.
