VICTOR Instrumented vehicle for the study of driver's behavior
Lescot's instrumented vehicle, Victor (Véhicule Instrumenté pour l'étude du ComporTement du cOnducteuR) is one of the means used by researchers at the Université Gustave Eiffel to analyse driving behaviors through an open road situation.
The researchers are particularly interested in the interactions between the driver, the vehicle and the driving environment. To carry out these researches, the laboratory equipped Victor with instrumentation, in order to collect data characterising each of these 3 entities. These data are of different types: video, physical, physiological measurements or observations. They are recorded all along the journey and are synchronized between them in real time or in post-processing. Moreover, thanks to a partnership with a car manufacturer, the data circulating on the CAN bus have been made accessible.

The platform in detail
The researchers are particularly interested in the interactions between the driver, the vehicle and the driving environment. The research questions for which the equipment can be mobilized are for example: the study of the use of on-board devices such as cruise control and speed limiter, GPS, smartphone and auxiliary screens on driving, the study of difficulties related to driving for the development of adaptive user interfaces adapted to uses, the characterization of cognitive decline of elderly drivers or Parkinson's disease.
