On-vehicle situation detection apparatus and method

Abstract

The invention provides an on-vehicle situation detection apparatus and method. The on-vehicle situation detection apparatus may include a detection unit to identify a driver and acquire driver status data and data about vehicle driving information or vehicle surrounding obstacles, a driving pattern learning unit to learn and store a driving pattern of a driver, based on the data acquired by the detection unit, a weighted value determination unit to determine a weighted value assigned to the information data acquired by the detection unit, based on the driving pattern learned by the driving pattern learning unit, a determination unit to determine a safe driving state of the driver, based on the data to which the weighted value determined by the weighted value determination unit is assigned, and a warning unit to warn the driver when the driver is determined to be not in the safe driving state. The on-vehicle situation detection apparatus and method determine whether the driver is driving safely by knowing mental and physical states associated with vehicle driving or vehicle operation by the driver, and guide, if determining that the driver is not in a safe driving state, the diver to drive safely by displaying warning, giving warning sound, reminding the driver by vibration, forcibly controlling the vehicle or other methods so as to protect the driver.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle installation state sensing device and method, and more specifically relates to a vehicle installation state sensing device and method using driver's driving load and vehicle surrounding information, not only the vehicle driving mode but also comprehensively analyzing the driver's behavior to prevent accidents ACCIDENT. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, cars provide people with convenient mobility and time efficiency, but due to the driver's inattention, not only the driver but also the people around him will cause great harm, so it is necessary to pay attention to use. In particular, recently, vehicles have gradually become intelligent and advanced due to the technical integration of automobiles and ITC (Information & Communication Technology, information and communication technology). Based on this, the safe driving support system implemented in the car recognizes the dangerous situation and ...

Problems solved by technology

However, systems that warn the driver using switch display devices or voice reminders are often difficult to recognize visually and audibly when they are buried by the noise of high-speed driving, or when they are driving with their eyes focused on the front, or when they are driving fatigued.

In addition, for safe driving, understanding the mental and physical state of the driver is also an important element, but it is impossible to understand the driver's mental state such as seizures, abnormal emotions, dyspnea, inattention, drowsiness, and anxiety with the existing technology. And whether there is a problem with the physical condition, even if such a problem occurs, there is no way to deal with it, so the driver cannot be well protected
