Embodiment Construction

[0023] In at least one embodiment, the present invention provides a system and method that enable implementation of attention management concepts in a vehicle, including exemplary hardware capable of implementing the functionality of the present invention. Here, several fundamental questions and objectives are elucidated, including: what derived visual support is needed by the driver and how it can be conceptualized so that it can be accepted; how real-time recognition of the driver's visual behavior can be used to reduce driving errors and Preventing accidents; what is the commercial possibility of realization. The following functional descriptions are provided for exemplary drowsiness management; distraction management; forward collision adapted distraction and lane change warning systems; and workload management. Also included are systems and methods for realizing the judgment of driving needs based on visual behavior.

[0024] One or more of these systems and methods are ...

Abstract

A system and method for monitoring physiological behavior of a driver is disclosed, comprising measuring physiological changes of the driver, determining a behavioral parameter of the driver based on at least said measured physiological changes (1, 4), and notifying the driver (2 , 3) The determined driver behavior parameters (1, 4). Measurements of physiological changes (1, 4) may include measuring driver eye movement, measuring driver gaze direction, measuring driver eye closure, measuring driver blink movement, measuring driver head movement, measuring driver head position, Measure the driver's head orientation, measure the driver's active facial features, and measure the driver's facial temperature pattern.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for improving driver safety; more particularly, it relates to remedial effects of drowsiness, distraction and similar dangerous states on a driver's ability to drive. technical background: [0002] Drivers of all types of vehicles are often unaware of the effects of drowsiness and distraction on their own ability to control their vehicle. People, especially drivers, often have insufficient judgments about their own capabilities. Often, a driver feels much better about his or her abilities than it actually does. Even if the person has basically good driving skills, their presence behind the wheel of the vehicle does not always remain the same. In addition, many times while driving, the driver needs to focus less on performing the driving task. As a result, the driver is paralyzed and pays less attention while driving. It is clear that driver inattention is a major cause of vehicle crashes, especi...
