The takeover issue, especially the setting of the takeover time budget, is a critical factor restricting the implementation and development of conditionally automated vehicles. The general fixed takeover time budget has certain limitations, as it does not take into account the driver’s non-driving behaviors. Here, we propose an intelligent takeover assistance system consisting of all-round sensing gloves, a non-driving behavior identification module, and a takeover time budget determination module. All-round sensing gloves based on triboelectric sensors seamlessly detect delicate motions of hands and interactions between hands and other objects, and then transfer the electrical signals to the non-driving behavior identification module, which achieves an accuracy of 94.72% for six non-driving behaviors. Finally, combining the identification result and its corresponding minimum takeover time budget obtained through the takeover time budget determination module, our system dynamically adjusts the takeover time budget based on the driver’s current non-driving behavior, significantly improving takeover performance in terms of safety and stability. Our work presents a potential value in the application and implementation of conditionally automated vehicles. In this work, authors develop intelligent electronic gloves for Conditionally Automated Vehicles that dynamically adjust the time drivers have to take control based on real-time identification of non-driving behaviours improving takeover performance safety and stability.

Introduction Time is a scarce resource in politics, which motivates political actors to decide strategically the sequence and order of their activities (Döring, 1995; Linz, 1998). In European parliamentary democracies, the scarcity of time is manifested by the constitutionally fixed maximum length of a government or legislature tenure, renewable with competitive elections (Döring, 1995, pp. 242–243).

1. IntroductionRecently, industrial robots have been utilized in a variety of fields, becoming the most widely used tool for industrial production [1,2,3]. With the further development of robots, many research works have been devoted to the study of the uncertain dynamics and trajectory tracking control of mechanical arms suffering from bounded external disturbances.

1 IntroductionAtmospheric methane (CH4) is an important greenhouse gas (Fletcher and Schaefer, 2019) and precursor of tropospheric ozone (Staniaszek et al., 2022). The CH4 concentrations have been steadily increasing since the preindustrial period (Aben et al., 2017). Recent observations showed a CH4 rise of 267 ppb (16.2%) from 1984 to 2022 though with large interannual variations (Lan et al., 2022).
