Situation awareness system and method

A situation awareness system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a windshield;
• at least one physiological state sensor configured to monitor a physiological state of a vehicle operator;
• a first substantially transparent ambient display coupled to the windshield;
• at least one vehicle performance sensor configured to monitor at least a vehicle operating parameter;
• a second substantially transparent ambient display coupled to the windshield;
• at least one vehicle context sensor configured to monitor vehicle context data;
• a third substantially transparent ambient display coupled to the windshield;
• a control module in communication with the at least one physiological state sensor, the at least one vehicle performance sensor, the at least one vehicle context sensor, the first substantially transparent ambient display, the second substantially transparent ambient display, and the third substantially transparent ambient display;
• wherein the control module is programmed to:
• identify a predetermined physiological condition based on the physiological state of the vehicle operator;
• identify a predetermined vehicle operating condition based on the vehicle operating parameter;
• identify a predetermined vehicle context condition based on the vehicle context data;
• and
• command the first, second, and third substantially transparent ambient displays to adjust a chromaticity and a luminance thereof based on the identified predetermined physiological condition, the identified predetermined driving condition, and the identified predetermined vehicle context condition, respectively.
