Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for considering a remote driver state. Embodiments decode, from a message received from a remote vehicle, a remote driver state of a driver of the remote vehicle and a level of the remote driver state. A change in a driving characteristic of a vehicle is determined based on the remote driver state and the level of the remote driver state. The change in the driving characteristic is then made.
Claims25
An apparatus for remote driver state consideration, the apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- decode, from a message received from a remote vehicle, a remote driver state of a driver of the remote vehicle and a level of the remote driver state, wherein the message includes a plurality of target states and their corresponding levels, the plurality of target states selected from:
- a drowsiness level, a stress level, a distraction level, a fatigue level, and an alertness level, and wherein the alertness level is calculated from a combination of other target states in the plurality of target states;
- determine a change in a driving characteristic of a vehicle based on the remote driver state and the level of the remote driver state;
- and
- change the driving characteristic of the vehicle.
A machine-implemented method for considering a remote driver state, the method comprising:
- decoding, from a message received from a remote vehicle, a remote driver state of a driver of the remote vehicle and a level of the remote driver state, wherein the message includes a plurality of target states and their corresponding levels, the plurality of target states selected from:
- a drowsiness level, a stress level, a distraction level, a fatigue level, and an alertness level, and wherein the alertness level is calculated from a combination of other target states in the plurality of target states;
- determining a change in a driving characteristic of a vehicle based on the remote driver state and the level of the remote driver state;
- and
- changing the driving characteristic of the vehicle.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions for considering a remote driver state, the computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- decoding, from a message received from a remote vehicle, a remote driver state of a driver of the remote vehicle and a level of the remote driver state, wherein the message includes a plurality of target states and their corresponding levels, the plurality of target states selected from:
- a drowsiness level, a stress level, a distraction level, a fatigue level, and an alertness level, and wherein the alertness level is calculated from a combination of other target states in the plurality of target states;
- determining a change in a driving characteristic of a vehicle based on the remote driver state and the level of the remote driver state;
- and
- changing the driving characteristic of the vehicle.
