Abstract
Continuous monitoring of users’ comfort level in automated driving could allow for optimizing human-automation teaming in this domain. Physiological parameters such as heart rate, eye blink frequency and pupil diameter are promising potential indicators for discomfort. In a driving simulator study, 20 participants experienced three automated close approach situations to a truck driving ahead and could report discomfort continuously by a handset control. Heart rate was measured by a smartband, and eye related parameters by eye tracking glasses. Two mathematical models, a logistic regression model and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, were compared for estimating discomfort by combing these physiological parameters. Both models showed similar prediction performance with slightly better prediction accuracy for the logistic model, even if the number of parameters (model complexity) contained in the logistic model was far less than in the SVM model.
