Abstract: A method for monitoring a vehicle passenger involves determining a current vital parameter value of at least one vital parameter of the vehicle passenger and, if necessary, a current environmental parameter value of at least one environmental parameter of an outer environmental of the vehicle. Depending upon the determined values, assistance can be provided to the vehicle passenger.

Abstract: A method and device for monitoring at least one vehicle passenger in a vehicle involves capturing images of the vehicle passenger using an image capturing unit and analyzing the captured images using an image processing unit. At least one vital sign of the vehicle passenger is determined by the image analysis of the captured images, which can be used to operate at least one assistance device of a vehicle.

Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring at least one vehicle passenger in a vehicle involve capturing images of the vehicle passenger by an image capturing unit and analyzing the captured images using an image processing unit. Vital parameters of the vehicle passenger are determined by the image analysis of the captured images. The vital parameters can include a pulse rate, a breathing rate and a breathing volume, a heart rate variability is determined from these vital parameters.

Abstract: A warning and information system for a motor vehicle which outputs information that is below a conscious threshold of perception of a use, and above his or her unconscious threshold. At least one signal source located in the peripheral field of vision of the user is provided, and its output signals are variable by adjusting their color, intensity, frequency, timber, and/or loudness.

Abstract: A process and system for monitoring the ability to work under pressure or receptiveness and effectiveness of a vehicle operator. The EEG-patterns of the mental activity are continuously recorded in various frequency ranges and evaluated according to various criteria. The occurrence of signals shapes or changes which indicate a impairment of operating ability are thus detected and lead, depending upon the detected status, to triggering of stepwise gradually increasing responses, from warning signals up to direct intervention and the control of the vehicle.
