INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA

The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) was established in 1991 as anot-for-profit organization to foster the use of advanced technologies in surface transportationsystems. We are the leading advocate for technologies that improve the safety, security andefficiency of the nation's surface transportation system. The formation of ITS America wasmotivated by the recognition that while numerous existing organizations were actively involvedin transportation issues, no single organization existed to focus exclusive attention onemerging technologies.

Our members include private corporations, public agencies, and academic institutionsinvolved in the research, development and design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)technologies that enhance safety, increase mobility, and sustain the environment.

� SS15: Intelligent TransportationApplications to Driver Wellnessand Well-beingTuesday, June 28:00AM – 9:30AM

While considerable focus has been placed onthe convergence of vehicle and infrastructureinformation, less consideration has been placedon what information might be provided aboutthe individual driver, their performance andinteraction with the vehicle, infrastructure andtraffic. Drivers across the U.S. have reportedless ‘happiness’ and satisfaction with driving—along side fatigue, distraction, anger, etc., “dri-ver stress” is emerging as the new impairment.Similarly, as the population ages, chronic dis-ease management will become a greater issuefor driver performance—combinations of med-ical conditions, medication uses as well asphysiological changes behind the wheel inresponse to highway conditions will be greaterfactors in both individual and system perform-ance and safety. MIT, in collaboration with theU.S. DOT, and industry researchers, has beendeveloping the concept of driver wellness andwell-being. How does driver physical and men-tal well-being affect driver performance? Howmight information be collected about individualdriver and optimally used to improve their per-formance as well as traffic safety/system per-formance? How might the integration of theindividual driver’s well-being be integrated intoan intelligent transportation systems architec-ture to improve individual and system safety aswell as performance?
