Embodiment Construction

[0086] figure 1 is a schematic illustration of an embodiment of various components of the motor vehicle 100 . The term "motor vehicle" as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to any moving vehicle capable of transporting one or more human passengers and powered by any form of energy. The term "motor vehicle" includes, but is not limited to, cars, trucks, vans, minivans, SUVs, motorcycles, scooters, boats, personal watercraft, and airplanes.

[0087] In some cases, motor vehicles include one or more engines. The term "engine" as used throughout this specification and claims refers to any device or machine capable of converting energy. In some cases, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. For example, energy conversion may include situations where chemical potential energy of a fuel or fuel cell is converted to rotational kinetic energy or where electrical potential energy is converted to rotational kinetic energy. The engine may als...

Abstract

Methods of assessing driver behavior include monitoring vehicle systems and driver monitoring systems to accommodate for a driver's slow reaction time, attention lapse and/or alertness. When it is determined that a driver is drowsy, for example, the response system may modify the operation of one or more vehicle systems. The systems that may be modified include: visual devices, audio devices, tactile devices, antilock brake systems, automatic brake prefill systems, brake assist systems, auto cruise control systems, electronic stability control systems, collision warning systems, lane keep assist systems, blind spot indicator systems, electronic pretensioning systems and climate control systems.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present embodiments relate to motor vehicles and, more particularly, to a system and method for responding to driver behavior. [0002] Motor vehicles are operated by drivers under a variety of conditions. Lack of sleep, monotonous road conditions, use of objects, or health-related conditions can increase the likelihood that a driver may become sleepy or inattentive while driving. If drowsy or inattentive, the driver may have delayed reaction time. A drowsy driver also presents an increased likelihood of falling asleep at the wheel, which could cause potential injury to the driver, other vehicle occupants, and occupants or pedestrians in nearby vehicles. Contents of the invention [0003] In one aspect, a method of controlling one or more vehicle systems in a motor vehicle is provided, the method comprising the steps of receiving monitoring information, determining whether a driver is drowsy, and changing Control of one or more vehicle syst...
