Driver’s mental stress is known as a prime factor in road crashes. The devastation of these crashes often results in losses of humans, vehicles, and infrastructure. Likewise, persistent mental stress could develop mental, cardiovascular, and abdominal disorders. Preceding research in this domain mostly focuses on feature engineering and conventional machine learning (ML) approaches. These approaches recognize different stress levels based on handcrafted features extracted from various modalities including physiological, physical, and contextual data. Acquiring the good quality features from these modalities using feature engineering is often a difficult job. The recent developments in the form of deep learning (DL) algorithms have relieved feature engineering by automatically extracting and learning resilient features. Conventional DL models, however, frequently over-fit due to large number of parameters. Thus, large networks face gradient vanishing issues causing an increase in learning failure and generalization errors. Furthermore, it is often hard to acquire a large dataset for training a deep learning model from scratch. To overcome these problems for driver’s stress recognition domain, this paper proposes fast and computationally efficient deep transfer learning models based on Xception pre-trained neural networks. These models classify the driver’s Low, Medium, and High stress levels through electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), galvanic skin response (GSR), electromyogram (EMG), and respiration (RESP) signals. Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) acquires the scalograms for ECG, HR, GSR, EMG, and RESP signals separately. Then unimodal Xception models are trained based on these scalograms to classify the three stress levels. The proposed Xception models have achieved 97.2%, 86.4%, 82.7%, 71.9%, and 68.9% average validation accuracies based on ECG, RESP, HR, GSR, and EMG signals, respectively. The fuzzy EDAS (evaluation based on distance from average solutio

The adoption of Extreme Programming (XP), a widely recognized Agile methodology, faces numerous barriers that hinder its successful implementation in software development organizations. This research aims to develop a novel Scalable Agile Maturity Assessment Model (SAMAM) to address these barriers and facilitate the effective adoption of XP. The model is designed by leveraging established frameworks, including the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), software Outsourcing Vendor Readiness Model (SOVRM), and software Process Improvement Implementation Management Model (SPIIMM). Unlike traditional models that rely on predefined Key Process Areas (KPAs), SAMAM adopts 14 critical barriers (CBs) identified through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and corresponding practices as the foundation for its maturity levels. The study was conducted in four phases. First, an SLR was performed to identify 14 critical barriers to XP adoption and their respective mitigation practices. In the second phase, a survey questionnaire was administered within the software industry to validate the SLR findings and extract additional industry-relevant practices. The third phase involved the development of SAMAM, structured into five maturity levels using the identified barriers and practices instead of traditional KPAs. In the final phase, industrial case studies were conducted to evaluate the model’s effectiveness in real-world settings using the Motorola Assessment Tool. The findings demonstrate that SAMAM provides a comprehensive and scalable approach to assess and improve XP adoption maturity by systematically addressing critical adoption barriers. The model supports organizations in overcoming XP adoption challenges and achieving higher process maturity. The evaluation through case studies confirmed the practical applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model, contributing to the body of knowledge on agile methodologies and advancing XP adoption in the software developm
