Abstract

This paper presents an online multimodal person independent workload classification system using blood volume pressure, respiration measures, electrodermal activity and electroencephalography. For each modality a classifier based on linear discriminant analysis is trained. The classification results obtained on short data frames are fused using weighted majority voting. The system was trained and evaluated on a large training corpus of 152 participants, exposed to controlled and uncontrolled scenarios for inducing workload, including a driving task conducted in a realistic driving simulator. Using person dependent feature space normalization, we achieve a classification accuracy of up to 94% for discrimination of relaxed state vs. high workload.
