The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the CFDA 47.041 Engineering program to Oregon State University. The primary objective of the research is to inform real-time adaptive automation interventions in safety-critical system operations by leveraging cognitive workload predictions and integrating operator emotional state information. The project seeks to develop an integrated cognitive-emotional state assessment framework to enhance the accuracy of human state assessment and trigger timely, context-aware driver assistance. The research plan involves high-fidelity driving simulator experiments to generate a multimodal dataset that captures driver performance, physiological signals, cognitive workload, emotional states, and driver feedback. The technical outcome aims to deliver a novel systems design framework for advanced driver assistance systems with more accurate real-time state assessment and contextually appropriate automation interventions. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2028.
