Abstract
Driver fatigue can be further categorized into passive fatigue and active fatigue based on the task-induced fatigue perspective, with its categorization necessary from a theoretical basis and practical needs. Passive fatigue is caused by mental underload and inactive task engagement, which is considered more hazardous. To facilitate the construction of the driver monitoring system (DMS), the current study aims to investigate the physiological and behavioral changes of passive fatigue. A total of thirty-six participants completed a 90 min driving task on a monotonous highway, during which subjective fatigue level, eye tracking indicators, and driving dynamics were recorded using the Stanford Sleepiness Scale, Smart Eye Pro, and CAN Bus system. Results showed that drivers reported higher levels of fatigue as driving duration increased. An increase in pupil diameters and gaze dispersions were observed during the task. Drivers gradually reduced the control of the vehicle, in which faster speed and lower speed compliance were witnessed. In addition, a compensatory process was found as passive fatigue increased. Drivers tended to lower their standards to maintain the lateral position but recovered their lateral control when they lost control of the car speed. The current study emphasizes the importance of investigating active and passive fatigue of drivers independently, and the unique physiological and behavioral changes accompanied by passive fatigue should be considered in designing driver monitoring systems.
