Abstract
A method for controlling vehicle systems includes receiving monitoring information from one or more monitoring systems and determining a plurality of driver states based on the monitoring information from the one or more monitoring systems. The method includes determining a combined driver state based on the plurality of driver states and modifying control of one or more vehicle systems based on the combined driver state.
Claims41
A method of controlling vehicle systems in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- receiving monitoring information from one or more monitoring systems;
- determining a plurality of driver states of a driver based on the monitoring information from the one or more monitoring systems;
- determining a combined driver state index based on the plurality of driver states, wherein the combined driver state index is a variable dependent on a result of evaluating each of the plurality of driver states together;
- and
- modifying control of one or more vehicle systems as a function of the combined driver state index.
A method of controlling vehicle systems in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- receiving monitoring information from one or more monitoring systems;
- determining a plurality of driver states selected from one of the following types of driver states:
- physiological driver state, behavioral driver state, and vehicular-sensed driver state, wherein the plurality of driver states are based on the monitoring information from the one or more monitoring systems;
- determining a combined driver state index based on the plurality of driver states, wherein the combined driver state index is a physiological, a behavioral, and a vehicular-sensed measurement of the driver resulting from combining the plurality of driver states;
- and
- modifying control of one or more vehicle systems based on the combined driver state index.
A method of controlling vehicle systems in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- receiving monitoring information from a plurality of monitoring systems;
- determining a plurality of driver states associated with a driver based on the monitoring information from the plurality of monitoring systems;
- determining a combined driver state index based on the plurality of driver states, wherein the combined driver state index is a variable dependent on a result of combining and confirming each of the plurality of driver states together;
- and
- modifying control of one or more vehicle systems based on the combined driver state index.
