Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To analyze cognitive deficits leading to unsafe driving in patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), strongly associated with cognitive impairment and synucleinopathy-related neurodegeneration. METHODS Twenty isolated RBD (iRBD), 10 symptomatic RBD (sRBD), and 20 age- and education-matched controls participated in a prospective case-control driving simulation study. Group mean differences were compared with correlations between cognitive and driving safety measures. RESULTS iRBD and sRBD patients were more cognitively impaired than controls in global neurocognitive functioning, processing speeds, visuospatial attention, and distractibility (p < .05). sRBD patients drove slower with more collisions than iRBD patients and controls (p < .05), required more warnings, and had greater difficulty following and matching speed of a lead car during simulated car-following tasks (p < .05). Driving safety measures were similar between iRBD patients and controls. Slower psychomotor speed correlated with more off-road accidents (r = 0.65) while processing speed (-0.88), executive function (-0.90), and visuospatial impairment (0.74) correlated with safety warnings in sRBD patients. Slower stimulus recognition was associated with more signal-light (0.64) and stop-sign (0.56) infractions in iRBD patients. CONCLUSIONS iRBD and sRBD patients have greater selective cognitive impairments than controls, particularly visuospatial abilities and processing speed. sRBD patients exhibited unsafe driving behaviors, associated with processing speed, visuospatial awareness, and attentional impairments. Our results suggest that iRBD patients have similar driving-simulator performance as healthy controls but that driving capabilities regress as RBD progresses to symptomatic RBD with overt signs of cognitive, autonomic, and motor impairment. Longitudinal studies with serial driving simulator evaluations and objective on-road driving performance are needed.

Abstract
Due to the limitation of current technologies and product costs, humans are still in the driving loop, especially for public traffic. One key problem of cooperative driving is determining the time when assistance is required by a driver. To overcome the disadvantage of the driver state-based detection algorithm, a new index called the correction ability of the driver is proposed, which is further combined with the driving risk to evaluate the driving capability. Based on this measurement, a degraded domain (DD) is further set up to detect the degradation of the driving capability. The log normal distribution is used to model the boundary of DD according to the bench test data, and an online algorithm is designed to update its parameter interactively to identify individual driving styles. The bench validation results show that the identification algorithm of the DD boundary converges finely and can reflect the individual driving characteristics. The proposed degradation detection algorithm can be used to determine the switching time from manual to automatic driving, and this DD-based cooperative driving system can drive the vehicle in a safe condition.
