Driver Distance Monitoring for Standing Vehicle Stop Control

The system performs preliminary detection of driver presence and position using sensors before an accident can occur. The distance sensor continuously monitors the driver's position relative to the driving apparatus, and the system is ready to execute emergency stopping before the driver actually falls, thus maintaining reliability while enabling standing posture operation

The system implements continuous feedback by monitoring the distance between the driver and the driving apparatus. When the distance exceeds a predetermined threshold, indicating the driver may have fallen, the system automatically triggers emergency stopping. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures reliability is maintained without compromising the ease of standing posture operation

The system replaces complex mechanical monitoring mechanisms with electronic sensors and control systems. Instead of mechanical switches or physical contact sensors, the patent uses distance sensors (optical or electromagnetic) to detect driver position, and electronic control to trigger braking, thereby achieving high reliability with relatively simple device architecture

The system enables the vehicle to monitor its own operating conditions and automatically take corrective action. The distance sensor continuously self-monitors driver presence, and the control system automatically executes emergency stopping when needed, without requiring external intervention or complex manual safety systems
