  • Vehicle safety and driver condition monitoring, and geographic information based road safety systems
    Patent number: 10127810
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include vehicle safety monitoring, and more particularly monitoring a condition of an operator of a vehicle. According to some embodiments, the present disclosure includes a system for alerting the operator and/or a remote server/user when the operator's driving time violates a pre-determined maximum threshold. According to other embodiments, the present disclosure includes a system that compares an operator's driving behavior against a personalized driving model, and generates a flag based on that comparison. In some cases, this comparison can help detect when the driver is exhibiting signs of fatigue or other kinds of impairment. According to other embodiments, geographic information may be used to improve road safety systems.
