  • Method and apparatus for influencing the load of a driver in a motor vehicle
    Publication number: 20070182529
    Abstract: A method for influencing the load on a driver while driving a motor vehicle, in which a workload is determined from physiological driver data detected by sensors, and to an apparatus for carrying out the method. The load or the workload on the driver is kept in an optimum workload range and brought back to this optimum range if there is any discrepancy, thus ensuring an optimum driver performance level and attention level. For this purpose, vehicle systems are driven as a function of the detected workload value in such a way that the driver is influenced via his visual, auditory or tactile sense channels in such a way that his workload value returns to a value in the optimum workload range.
