Method and system for identifying a situation with a potentially in-alert driver

A road segment determining system adapted for identifying beforehand a situation with a potentially in-alert driver of a vehicle, the road segment determining system comprising:

• a position determining unit adapted for determining a position of the vehicle;
• a characteristics determining unit adapted for determining pre-stored road characteristics of a road segment assumed or known to be ahead of the vehicle;
• and
• a monotonous road determining unit adapted for determining the road segment to be monotonous based on comparing at least a first road parameter of the pre-stored road characteristics with predetermined monotonous road criteria.

A computer program product comprising a computer program including computer program code stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium for execution by a computer or a processor to:

• determine a position of a vehicle;
• determine pre-stored road characteristics of a road segment assumed or known to be ahead of the vehicle;
• and
• determine the road segment to be monotonous based on comparing at least a first road parameter of the pre-stored road characteristics with predetermined monotonous road criteria;
• whereby a situation with a potentially in-alert driver of a vehicle may be identified beforehand.
