DICOUNT: Distraction and Inattention COUNTermeasures
Responsible organisation
2014 (English)Report (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

In the DICOUNT, DIstraction and COUNTer mesures, project a prototype for safety driver coaching has been developed and to a limited extent also been evaluated. The focus of DICOUNT has been distraction counter measures but the project has showed it is very feasible to have an integrated solution for safety coaching training as the new functionality has been integrated in an existing driver coaching program, DriveCam, from Lytx. A key issue in the project has been the Swedish camera surveillance law. As it is important to understand the context in which a critical event occurs so a front looking camera has been part of the DICOUNT systems. It was not foreseen within the project that the front looking camera would fall under the Swedish law regarding camera surveillance, ‘Lagen om Allmän Kameraövervakning, LAK’. This has caused much delay in the project and limited the time to evaluate the system. The results from DICOUNT show that the system is efficient in capturing distraction events. The coaching strategy is necessary to evaluate the coaching strategy on a larger fleet and with more drivers. If the efficiency of the coaching follows the same rate as the normal DriveCam Program a reduction about 50% is feasible. Volvo and Lytx will launch a pilot in 2014 of a fleet of 10 vehicles with a 6 month of training period in order have confirmed values. Due to the legal situation in Sweden these test will be conducted in the Netherlands. In parallel Volvo together with other stakeholders will continue to have dialogue with the Swedish authorities on how such a system can be deployed in Sweden as it can reduce traffic accidents significant.
