A Driver Screening Method Based on Perception Ability Test of Dangerous Omen

According to in-depth research on the perception ability of dangerous omens of excellent drivers, references can be provided for the development of brain-like intelligence and its transplantation, as well as applications in the field of autonomous driving, which will improve the active safety and intelligence level of vehicles. Previous studies have shown that there is indeed a dangerous omen before an accident occurs. However, current studies are still unclear about the bio-psychophysiological characteristics exhibited by drivers with high levels of sensory agility when they anticipate potential warning signs, and there is no method for screening such drivers who can perceive dangerous omens proposed by any research. To address the above issues, this paper conducts in-depth research. Firstly, through designing dangerous scenarios and conducting hazard perception tests, we collect physiological, psychological, and physical data, such as drivers' bioelectrical signals (electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram) and eye movements. Secondly, through playing back experimental videos, actively questioning drivers, and analyzing local changes in their electroencephalogram data, the driver's ability to identify a dangerous omen and the moment of perception are determined. Thirdly, based on techniques such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Mann-Whitney U test, the differences in bioelectrical and eye movement characteristics between drivers who can perceive a dangerous omen and others can be further revealed. Finally, the driver's bioelectrical and eye movement characteristics are used as latent variables, and their corresponding data are utilized as observation indicators. We construct a structural equation model for screening drivers capable of perceiving a dangerous omen and conduct calibration and validation. This study provides inspirational ideas for empowering vehicles to identify potential hazards, advancing end-to-end and other higher-level autonomous driving technologies, and further enhancing road traffic safety.
