BRAINSAFEDRIVE: A Technology to detect Mental States During Drive for improving the Safety of the road

BRAINSAFEDRIVE will develop a tool as attentional detectors that detect drivers’ mental state in terms of stress, cognitive load, sleepiness in real time during simulated and/or natural driving situations. Here, the project combines two necessary state of the art expertise’s: 1) the acquisition and analysis of cerebral signals i.e. Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electrooculography (EOG); 2) the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. The drivers’ mental state will be correlated with vehicular parameters e.g. brake, speed, acceleration, lane chnges etc and classify the driving as "normal, healthy and safe” driver. Three actors involved in this bilateral i.e. Sweden and Italy collaboration are: 1) Dept. of Molecular Medicine (DMM) at Sapienza University, Italy with the expertise of cerebral signal analysis; 2) Intelligence Systems group at
Mälardalen University (MDH), Sweden with the expertise of AI and machine learning algorithms; 3) BrainSigns (BS), Italy as SME with the expertise of the measurement system of cerebral activity during driving. MDH and BS already are collaborating through a H2020 project SimuSafe. During 3 years a) the researchers at DMM will be educated on different algorithms of AI and machine learning from MDH; b) researchers at MDH will be benefited with advance signal processing on cerebral signals from DMM; c) the BS as SME company will be benefited through neuroscience-based algorithms derived from DMM and MDH.
