Abstract
Driving is a complex activity performed in a continually varying and stimulating environment. The coordination and execution of various skills like cognitive, sensory, psychomotor and physical are extremely necessary to drive safe. Most of the studies related to driving highlighted that 75% of traffic accidents occurs due to human factors including driver’s fatigue, deprived health condition, attention loss, bad emotional state, and lack of skills. Most of the developed country is ageing. Hence, the drivers above 60 years is also increasing. Ageing results are weakening in cognitive function and threaten driver safety. The aged drivers (age above 60 years) have a comparatively more significant risk of accident due to medical emergency than other factors like bad emotional state and lack of skills. The wellness of drivers’ is considered as a key factor of traffic accidents. Heart failure and non-traumatic disease (i.e., stroke) are the main risk factors for drivers’ death. Many of the victims have no prior knowledge of the presence of the condition. Stroke is a disease caused due to the disturbance in blood supply to the parts of the brain. After experiencing stroke, a driver’s ability to drive is generally affected by the visual, perceptual, motor, and cognitive deficits. Stroke leads to arm weakness, facing dropping, blurred vision, dizziness, coordination issue and speech difficulties of victims which are essential for driving. It is necessary to protect the driver’s those are possibly be the victims for stroke. Since, stroke onset during driving lead a serious threat to the other drivers and the general public. Now-a-days, there are lots of automotive industry competing not only to provide better performance in terms of the vehicle but also to provide the driver with better comfort even in long rides. Automakers are developing vehicle that could provide health monitoring service with Internet of Things (IoT). In IoT, an automobile or vehicle-treated as a “thing”. IoT plays an important role in connected vehicles development. It provide us cloud connectivity, health monitoring, safety and security. Automakers are developing vehicles with IoT enabled including healthcare, accident prevention, vehicle safety, driver safety, driver and passenger comfort, vehicle monitoring, etc. The paper aimed on summarizing the current developments in driver’s health and comfort monitoring through IoT.
