Advanced methodology for evaluation of driver's actual state with use of technical driving data

This paper presents experiences from several hundred measurements and analysis of experiments performed on our driving simulators. Besides the experiment setup, it describes several different methods used for the classification of driver behavior based mainly on analysis of technical outputs from simulated driving. Our goal is to find out the objective methodology for evaluation of driver's actual state and for assessment of IVIS (or further any HMI devices used in the cars) with respect to drivers' skills and personalities. Such methodology, if successfully found, could serve in future as a comprehensive compound of automobile development process.
