Towards Enhanced Autonomous Driving Takeovers: Fuzzy Logic Perspective for Predicting Situational Awareness
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper investigates the application of fuzzy logic to enhance situational awareness in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Situational awareness is critical for drivers to respond appropriately to dynamic driving scenarios. As car automation increases, monitoring situational awareness ensures that drivers can effectively take control of the vehicle when needed. Our study explores whether fuzzy logic can accurately assess situational awareness using a set of 14 critical predictors categorized into time decision, criticality, eye-related metrics, and driver experience. We based our work on prior research that used machine learning (ML) models to achieve high accuracy. Our proposed fuzzy logic system aims to match the predictive accuracy of ML models while providing additional benefits in terms of interpretability and robustness. This approach emphasizes a fresh perspective on situational awareness within ADAS, potentially improving safety and efficiency in real-world driving scenarios.
