| Summary: | Nowadays, there is a huge socio-economic e ort to reduce driving accidents. To do so, there are many safety methods and emphasis has been given to methods based on computer vision techniques. However, most of these techniques require high computational power and economical cost. As an alternative there are other techniques that exploit the vehicle-driver interfaces, such as the vehicle pedals. Considering the pedals as a powerful tool to monitor the driver actions, a system to monitor the driver actuations in automobile vehicle pedals was developed. In doing so, several possible con icting requirements were taking into account, such as: low cost production, real-time monitoring and accuracy, robustness, non-invasiveness, exibility and easy of use. To evaluate if the developed system ful lled these requirements, tests were carried out under both stationary and real driving conditions. Overall, the system developed presents the necessary requirements and was able to successful monitor the driver actuation on automobile vehicle pedals.
