Abstract

At present, many automakers are paying attention to develop vehicles with IoT enabled including healthcare, accident prevention, vehicle safety, driver safety, driver and passenger comfort, vehicle monitoring, etc. This paper focused on reviewing the recent developments in driver’s health and comfort monitoring through IoT. The literature review was performed with popular search engines/databases like PubMed, ScienceDirect, Elsevier Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The search was based on keywords like “Healthcare Monitoring”, “Seating Comfort”, “IoT developments”, “Smart Sensing”, “Embedded Sensors”, “Wearable Sensors”, “in-vehicle smart assistance”, “Autonomous Vehicle/Car”. Later, the articles were sorted out according to the relevance of this paper’s focus (i.e., driver’s health and comfort monitoring through IoT) by reading title, abstract, and full article. The results show that there have been many IoT based health and comfort monitoring developments concerning the vehicle. We have classified and summarised the developments as health monitoring through seat pan, seat back, seat belt, steering wheel, eye tracking and face tracking, and comfort monitoring/enhancement through smart seating, smart seat cushion, smart door module, smart air-bag, smart seat belt buckles. This survey would be giving in-depth knowledge on recent developments in the field of automotive and IoT.
