| description | Unobtrusive in-vehicle measurement and the monitoring of physiological signals have recently attracted researchers in industry and academia as an innovative approach that can provide valuable information about drivers’ health and status. The main goal is to reduce the number of traffic accidents caused by driver errors by monitoring various physiological parameters and devising appropriate actions to alert the driver or to take control of the vehicle. The research on this topic is in its early stages. While there have been several publications on this topic and industrial prototypes made by car manufacturers, a comprehensive and critical review of the current trends and future directions is missing. This review examines the current research and findings in in-vehicle physiological monitoring and suggests future directions and potential uses. Various physiological sensors, their potential locations, and the results they produce are demonstrated. The main challenges of in-vehicle biosensing, including unobtrusive sensing, vehicle vibration and driver movement cancellation, and privacy management, are discussed, and possible solutions are presented. The paper also reviews the current in-vehicle biosensing prototypes built by car manufacturers and other researchers. The reviewed methods and presented directions provide valuable insights into robust and accurate biosensing within vehicles for researchers in the field. |
