Title: Experiments of posture estimation on vehicles using wearable acceleration sensors,
Abstract: In this paper, we study methods to estimate drivers' posture in vehicles
using acceleration data of wearable sensor and conduct a field test. Recently,
sensor technologies have been progressed. Solutions of safety management to
analyze vital data acquired from wearable sensor and judge work status are
proposed. To prevent huge accidents, demands for safety management of bus and
taxi are high. However, acceleration of vehicles is added to wearable sensor in
vehicles, and there is no guarantee to estimate drivers' posture accurately.
Therefore, in this paper, we study methods to estimate driving posture using
acceleration data acquired from T-shirt type wearable sensor hitoe, conduct
field tests and implement a sample application.
