Abstract
Recently, many Advanced Drivers Assistance Systems have been developed to enhance drivers’ cognition, decision, and operation. To perform those systems, monitoring and feedback of a driver’s behavior including one’s intention is important. As a monitoring system of a driver’s mental work load or stress during driving, grip strength is analyzed in this research. It is hypothesized that a driver loose one’s grip when relaxed, on the other hand a driver tighten one’s grip when stressed. Then, subjects are asked to drive several conditions, which brings different stress on them, and correlation between grip strength and stress are studied.
