Exploring differences between self-report and electrophysiological indices of drowsy driving: A usability examination of a personal brain-computer interface device

IntroductionImpaired driving has resulted in numerous accidents, fatalities, and costly damage. One particularly concerning type of impairment is driver drowsiness. Despite advancements, modern vehicle safety systems remain ineffective at keeping drowsy drivers alert and aware of their state, even temporarily. Until recently the use of user-centric brain-computer interface (BCI) devices to capture electrophysiological data relating to driver drowsiness has been limited. Method: In this study, 25 participants drove on a simulated roadway under drowsy conditions. Results: Neither subjective nor electrophysiological measures differed between individuals who showed overt signs of drowsiness (prolonged eye closure) during the drive. However, the directionality and effect size estimates provided by the BCI device suggested the practicality and feasibility of its future implementation in vehicle safety systems. Practical applications: This research highlights opportunities for future BCI device research for use to assess the state of drowsy drivers in a real-world context.     

汽车电子BCI法与空间辐射法等效性研究

首先通过理论分析了线缆在电场中产生的电流大小,其次使用带状线装置产生均匀场强,通过测量找出线缆感应电流与场强之间的传输函数关系,从而验证了BCI法与空间辐射场的等效性,这为将来我国汽车电子BCI法制定合适的试验限值提供了参考。     

基于遥感影像的近30年西宁市热岛效应时空变化

利用1987?—?2015年多个时相的Landsat卫星影像及同期气象和社会经济数据,结合多年建成区边界,利用单窗算法反演了地表温度,结合热场变异指数定量分析了西宁市城市建成区热岛强度时空演化特征,探讨了其与城市绿化程度、车辆数等要素的关系,提出了城市化进程中城市热岛效应的调控措施。研究结果显示:(1)西宁市夏季表现为"热岛"效应,冬季为"冷岛"效应;(2)西宁市热岛效应强度在时间序列有三个节点,2000年以前西宁市夏季和冬季白天各个热岛区面积变化不明显,2000年以后热岛区面积,尤其是较强热岛区面积和中热岛区面积都出现迅速增加的趋势,2003年热岛区面积达到最高,2003年以后热岛区面积渐渐回落,2011年以后又增强;(3)夏季"热岛"区面积变化趋势和冬季"冷岛"区面积变化趋势一致,且与建成区变化一致。
