  • Publication number: 20230286513
    Abstract: A method for controlling a driving assistance feature of a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes determining a state of a driver of the vehicle by means of a driver monitoring system (DMS) the state of the driver comprising at least one attention parameter, and comparing the determined state of the driver with a predefined attention model. The predefined attention model includes an independent threshold range for each attention parameter. The method further includes controlling the driving assistance feature based on the comparison between the determined state of the driver and the predefined attention model.

  • Patent number: 9725092
    Abstract: A method and a following space management unit of a host vehicle for managing a following space are disclosed. The following space management unit obtains a set of parameters including one or more of a difference parameter, indicating a difference between a velocity of the host vehicle and a speed limit for the host vehicle at a current location, and a road marking parameter, indicating whether a surrounding vehicle is allowed to enter the current lane. The following space management unit determines the following space based on the set of parameters.
