  • Patent number: 10274338
    Abstract: A method for improving risk situations for vehicle occupants in a vehicle which includes: configuring a set of circumstances; defining a set of values for each circumstance where each value has a rate; collecting context information for the circumstances, values and rates; collecting real-time sensor measurements pertaining to a vehicle, a driver and vehicle occupants; retrieving risk patterns from a risk pattern database; matching the sensor measurements to the risk patterns to find a matching risk pattern having a risk similarity value; contextualizing the matching risk pattern by increasing the risk similarity value to result in a personalized risk value; comparing the personalized risk value to a threshold; and executing a context modifying action to lower the personalized risk value below a predefined threshold when the personalized risk value exceeds the predefined threshold.
