Embodiment Construction

[0027] exist figure 1 In , a system for preventing lapses in concentration while driving a motor vehicle is indicated by 10 . The system 10 includes an acquisition device 12 for acquiring parameters characterizing the current driving situation. All data or values ​​which relate to the vehicle, the driver, the driving route or the driving environment and which are suitable for determining the level of monotonicity are specified here as parameters. These include in particular real-time or stored data from existing or otherwise equipped sensors, devices or systems of the vehicle, as well as data transmitted to the vehicle. Such data may be transmitted, for example, via a public wireless network such as a mobile communication link to the Internet or another network, via a radio station such as the Traffic Message Channel (TMC), or via short-range links to other vehicles in the vicinity. In addition, values ​​calculated by analyzing data, such as average values, and data reflecti...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method (30) and system for preventing concentration errors when driving a motor vehicle. Parameters that characterize a current driving situation of the motor vehicle are acquired (32). On the basis of the acquired parameters a current level of monotony is determined (34) as a characterization of a monotony of the current driving situation. Whether the calculated current level of monotony exceeds a predetermined threshold is checked (36), and an exercise for the driver to increase concentration on driving the motor vehicle is performed (46) when the threshold is exceeded. The invention also relates to a corresponding system (10) used for preventing concentration errors of the driver.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for preventing driver lapses in concentration while driving a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Some driving situations can be quite monotonous to the driver while operating a motor vehicle. For example, when driving on the motorway at night with only a few other road users, then lane changes, direction changes, acceleration and braking maneuvers etc. hardly occur. If this monotonous driving situation continues for an extended period of time, this can lead to a decrease in the driver's concentration on the traffic and his vehicle. Ultimately, this can cause driver fatigue or even drowsiness. Such distractions in driver concentration can produce very dangerous lapses in concentration during driving a motor vehicle. For example, the driver reacts too late or not at all to a suddenly changing driving situation, or leaves his lane unintentionally. [0003] Various methods for determining t...
