Wearable bio-sensors bracelet for driveras health emergency detection

Abstract

Abnormality of the driver's Bio-physiological parameters has great impact on the driver's capability, and the ability to control a vehicle; which may cause severe car accidents. In this paper, a novel system was developed to monitor the driver's health status through a Wearable Bio-Sensors Bracelet that detects heath emergency threatening situations. The system collects live bio-signals data through a Wearable Bio-Sensors Bracelet that is embedded with multiple Bio-sensors such as Electromyography (EMG), Electrocardiography (ECG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Accelerometer (ACC) and Temperature. A robotics rover car model has been used as a testing vehicle scenario. The developed system detects an emergency and takes control over the rover maneuver when the driver lost his capacity, and automatically avoids any obstacle by sensing the surrounding area. The system has been demonstrated in a prepared emergency scenario and verified the potential. This paper describes the design concept, system configuration, and the future prospect of the study.
