Conditional Automated Driving (CAD) has attracted widespread attention due to the substantial gap in achieving fully autonomous driving, wherein an essential endeavor entails determining the transition timing between automated and manual driving modes. Driver cognitive workload serves as a crucial indicator for identifying transition timing, while its precise determination is challenging with discrete workload levels in previous studies. To address this issue, this work develops a dual-stage learning framework to quantify driver cognitive workload continuously. Specifically, a semi-supervised co-training strategy is first designed to approximate workload values, and then supervised contrastive learning is employed to align them with their feature representations in the latent space. A novel driver workload dataset is constructed for the evaluation, and experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms other state-of-the-art baselines in estimation accuracy. Furthermore, the rationality of quantified cognitive workload is analyzed through the driver’ subjective assessment, indicating it is a more reliable solution for achieving the driving authority transition.
