Predictive human-machine interface using eye gaze technology, blind spot indicators and driver experience

A system of providing an alert in a vehicle comprising:

• an eye gaze detector receiving an eye gaze vector from a driver and determining a driver experience level based on the eye gaze vector;
• a proximity sensor detecting a location of at least one lane marker and a location of the vehicle relative to the at least one lane marker;
• and
• a lane keep assist system (LKAS) control unit activating the alert based on the driver experience level and the vehicle location with respect to the location of the at least one lane marker.

A method of providing an alert in a vehicle comprising:

• detecting a location of the vehicle relative to at least one lane marker or an adjacent vehicle based on a proximity sensor;
• determining an eye gaze vector based on an eye gaze detector;
• gathering, using the eye gaze vector determined from the eye gaze detector, driver experience information based on whether a driver is looking at an upcoming turn;
• determining, using a processor, a risk based on the relative location of the vehicle and the at least one lane marker or the adjacent vehicle;
• and
• activating the alert, using the processor, the alert based on the risk and the driver experience level.
