Despite COVID-19, we keep on collecting submissions and plan to hold the workshop as planned on May 12-13, 2021. The workshop is organized as a virtual event. We welcome you to Submit papers.

Overview

We are pleased to invite the community to submit to the 1st International Workshop on the Models and Methods for Driver Monitoring (MMDM 2021). The driver monitoring is an emerging research field positioned at the intersection of the machine learning, data science, human behavior analysis, and intelligent transportation system domains.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and advance the development of safety related driver monitoring methods by using cutting-edge tools and processes. The event will consist of presentations from academics, as well as posters and demos.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

- Driver distraction detection

- Driver attention evaluation

- Driver behavior analysis

- Driver fatigue detection

- Visual methods of driver monitoring

- Applications of physiological sensors for driver monitoring

- Driving style analysis

- Advanced driver assistance systems

- Detection of dangerous driving states

- Counter-action to dangerous driving states

- Equipment and computer programs used to increase driving safety

- Studies about impact of monitoring and regulations on road safety and traffic

For submission deadlines and other important dates please refer to the rules of FRUCT29 conference. The papers submission and evaluation are conducted via FRUCT submission process. 

All conference papers and abstracts will be published Open Access in FRUCT proceeding (available for free download from FRUCT proceedings catalog). In addition Full papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore and submitted for indexing to Scopus, WoS, ACM, DBLP, RSCI/РИНЦ (as journal publication), Google Scholar, etc. Proceedings of FRUCT conference Full Papers are included into Scimago Journal Rank. FRUCT proceedings are included to DOAJ.
The selected papers get invitations to publish extended papers in the partner journals. For example, in case of successful presentation and recommendation by the session chair some papers will be invited to make free of charge publication of an extended version of the paper in IJERTCS journal (indexed by Scopus).

Workshop is a part of FRUCT conference that is a recognized high quality scientific event. FRUCT has good rating in national systems, e.g., Finnish (JUFO=1, JufoID: 72707), Norwegian (NSD=1), Danish (BFI=1, ID: 8782540).

N.B. Please note that we cannot guaranty indexation in Scopus for Short Papers and papers from WiP section.
