Abstract

The invention provides an enhanced driver attention module for a driving assistance system. A method for use in a driving assistance system of a motor vehicle is provided. The method comprises receiving, by a driver attention module of the driving assistance system, information from at least one input source. The information comprises at least one indicator. The at least one indicator indicates acurrent attention of a driver of the motor vehicle. The method further comprises deciding, based on the current attention, whether the driving assistance system is to interfere in a current driving operation of the motor vehicle. The method further comprises triggering a signal, by the driver attention module, based on the decision. A driver attention module and a driving assistance system havingthe driver attention module and a driver fatigue module are further provided.

Description

technical field [0001] In the following, a method, a driver attention module, and a driving assistance system for a driving assistance system of a motor vehicle are described. Background technique [0002] In order to be able to assess and evaluate the attention of the driver of the motor vehicle to the current traffic situation, simple input signals and input sources are currently used (such as, for example, the driver's braking activity and acceleration activity as well as the direction indicator and turn indicators performed by the driver). operation of the steering wheel angle). Additionally, eye scanners designed to detect frequent blinking as an indicator of fatigue are occasionally used. Due to the small number of input sources, the number of malfunctions due to interventions by the driver assistance system not intended by the driver may be too high for a given road safety situation. Situations that are detrimental to road safety also arise when the driver is not pa...
