Abstract
A driver assessment system includes at least one vehicle sensor on a vehicle gathering vehicle dynamics information. At least one occupant sensor gathers driver information. The at least one occupant sensor may be a wearable device or subdermal device on the driver. At least one computer receives the vehicle dynamics information and the driver information to determine a driver readiness.
Claims27
A driver assessment system comprising:
- at least one vehicle sensor on a vehicle gathering vehicle dynamics information;
- at least one occupant sensor gathering driver information regarding a driver of the vehicle, wherein the at least one occupant sensor is a wearable device or subdermal device on the driver;
- and
- at least one computer receiving the vehicle dynamics information and the driver information to determine a driver readiness, wherein the at least one computer determines driver readiness in light of a length of an expected journey, wherein the at least one computer implements proactive, escalating driver feedback based upon the driver readiness determination.
A method for assessing driver readiness including the steps of:
- receiving driver information from at least one occupant sensor before an expected journey begins;
- receiving journey information regarding the expected journey, including a length of the expected journey;
- determining driver readiness before the expected journey begins based upon the driver information in light of the length of the expected journey;
- and
- incorporating rest stops into the expected journey based upon the driver readiness.
A method for assessing driver readiness including the steps of:
- receiving driver information from at least one occupant sensor;
- receiving vehicle dynamics information from at least one vehicle sensor on a vehicle;
- determining driver readiness before an expected journey begins based upon the driver information in light of a length of the expected journey and based upon the vehicle dynamics information;
- sharing the driver readiness with nearby drivers in different vehicles;
- and
- aggregating driver readiness for a plurality of drivers of a plurality of vehicles including the vehicle on a road segment and determining a risk level associated with the road segment based upon the aggregated driver readiness.
A method for assessing driver readiness including the steps of:
- receiving driver information from at least one occupant sensor before an expected journey begins;
- receiving journey information regarding the expected journey, including a length of the expected journey;
- determining driver readiness before the expected journey begins based upon the driver information in light of the length of the expected journey;
- and
- implementing proactive, escalating driver feedback based upon the driver readiness determination.
