PSYCARTitle of the Sub-Project: PSYCAR - Feasibility analysis on a car control system by psychic-physical parameters Description: Drive safety is one of the most important matters debated in the EU, which encourages its member countries to define a sharper policy in this regard. Most car accidents are due to an improper human behaviour while driving, w hich cause more than 64% of all car accidents and injuries and more than 60% of death. Alcool, sleep blow and drugs are the most common reasons for accidents. Main purpose of the project is to define the correct psycho-physical parameters to be monitored in order to establish a protocol as a basis for a safe drive system. Basically these paramethers will be monitored by appropriate sensors which will translate the physical action into electronical signals. The signal power will be translated into a numerical value that represents the performance of the driver in that particular condition. This will allow to evaluate the psycho-physical condition of the driver and reveal if he is liable to one of the three conditions listed above. Once the parameters for the driver’s psycho-physical status (like body temperature, hand tremor, cardio rhythm and frequence etc.) are defined, a bio-robotic system with a group of sensors that will monitor the driver condition will be designed and created. Each parameter will be defined by measurable numerical values that allow to evaluate any possible alteration. Only the link between these parameters will allow to evaluate the exact level of alteration of the driver. Interregional cooperation will be necessary to achieve the technological platform development, the University of Linz being the leader in Mechatronics and the Politecnico di Milano in the field of Biorobothics. An information exchange between the two universities will take place in order to define the best solution to monitor the defined parameters and obtain a better control of the “car system”. The Results will also be analysed by a team of private industries in order to establish a better system to be built to integrate these parameters into the “car system”.
