ABSTRACT
We present a system for in-vehicle driver recognition based on biometric information extracted from electrocardiographic (ECG) signals collected at the hands. We recur to non-intrusive techniques, that are easy to integrate into components with which the driver naturally interacts with, such as the steering wheel. This system is applicable to the automatic customization of vehicle settings according to the perceived driver, being also prone to expand the security features of the vehicle through the detection of hands-off steering wheel events in a continuous or near-continuous manner. We have performed randomized tests for performance evaluation of the system, in a subject identification scenario, using closed sets of up to 5 subjects, showing promising results for the intended application.

Driver Identification Using Driving Behavior Signals
In this paper, we propose a driver identification method that is based on the driving behavior signals that are observed while the driver is following another vehicle. Driving behavior signals, such as the use of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, ...
Driver Drowsiness Classification Using Data Fusion of Vehicle-based Measures and ECG Signals
2020 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)Reduced alertness due to the drowsy state that impairs driving performance has been reported to be one of the significant causes of road accidents. This paper aims to present a data fusion of vehicle-based and ECG signals for classifying three levels of ...
A hand gesture based driver-vehicle interface to control lateral and longitudinal motions of an autonomous vehicle
2016 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)Autonomous vehicles would make the future roads safer by keeping the human driver out of the loop. However, reduced degree of human-control could result in loss of the feeling of driving for some drivers. Therefore, in this study we proposed a method of ...
