  • Systems and methods for evaluating driver attentiveness for collision avoidance
    Patent number: 7592920
    Abstract: Systems and method for evaluating driver attentiveness are provided. An allocation unit evaluates defined first input data to recognize a specific driving situation among a plurality of defined driving situations. A driver monitoring unit is operatively coupled to the allocation unit and evaluates defined second input data, based on the recognized driving situation, to assess a degree of situation-adapted attentiveness. A functional unit of a collision avoidance system is controlled as a function of the assessed degree of situation-adapted attentiveness.
    Type: Grant
