  • Patent number: 11932255
    Abstract: A method of processing the psychophysical state of a driver to improve the driving experience of road vehicle driven by a driver and comprising the steps of: cyclically detecting one or more objective vital parameters of the driver by means of one or more first sensors installed within a vehicular system; processing the value of a vital state index according to said one or more objective vital parameters detected; cyclically detecting one or more subjective parameters of the driver by means of one or more second sensors installed within the vehicular system; processing, starting from the objective vital parameters and according to the subjective parameters, the psychophysical state of the driver.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220063448
    Abstract: A method for the automatic adjustment of a cockpit inside a road vehicle comprising the steps of determining anthropometric data of a driver; processing an ergonomic position of a model of the driver sitting on board the road vehicle; processing an optimal configuration of the cockpit; operating a plurality of actuator systems so as to cause the cockpit to reach the optimal configuration; wherein the ergonomic position of the model is processed in association with a minimum ground visibility; a minimum visibility of a control panel; and at least one first comfort angle of a body joint of the driver.
