Abstract
A driver management system and a method of operating the same. The driver management system includes: a monitoring part provided in a vehicle and determining a level of driving attention of a driver; and a vehicle stopping determination part receiving the level of driving attention of the driver, determining vehicle stop frequency at which a vehicle stops at a plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on a road, decreasing the vehicle stop frequency when the level of driving attention is high, and increasing the vehicle stop frequency when the level of driving attention is low.
Claims20
A driver management system comprising:
- a monitoring part provided in a vehicle and configured to determine a level of driving attention of a driver of the vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle stopping determination part configured to receive the level of driving attention of the driver, and to determine a vehicle stop frequency at which the vehicle stops at a plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on a road,
- wherein the vehicle stop frequency is decreased when the level of driving attention is determined to be high, and
- wherein the vehicle stop frequency is increased when the level of driving attention is determined to be low.
A method of operating a driver management system, the method comprising:
- determining a level of driving attention of a driver by monitoring the driver;
- determining that a vehicle has stopped at a plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on a road,
- based on the determining that the vehicle has stopped at the plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on the road, determining a vehicle stopping frequency at which the vehicle has stopped at the plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on the road;
- and
- controlling a vehicle stop, such that the vehicle stopping frequency is decreased when the level of driving attention determined by the monitoring of the driver is high, and such that the vehicle stopping frequency is increased when the level of driving attention determined by the monitoring of the driver is low.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining a level of driving attention of a driver by monitoring the driver;
- determining that a vehicle has stopped at a plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on a road,
- based on the determining that the vehicle has stopped at the plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on the road, determining a vehicle stopping frequency at which the vehicle has stopped at the plurality of vehicle stopping points provided on the road;
- and
- controlling a vehicle stop, such that the vehicle stopping frequency is decreased when the level of driving attention determined by the monitoring of the driver is high, and such that the vehicle stopping frequency is increased when the level of driving attention determined by the monitoring of the driver is low.
