  • Systems and methods for improving driver monitoring systems
    Patent number: 12195007
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving a Driver Monitoring System (DMS) of a vehicle. The system includes a controller in operable communication with the DMS of the vehicle. The controller is configured to, by a processor: receive a signal from the DMS that a camera of the DMS is unable to monitor a driver of the vehicle, determine a cause of the camera being unable to monitor the driver, and adjust an escalation algorithm of the DMS based on the determined cause of the camera being unable to monitor the driver. The escalation algorithm is configured to perform actions based on activity of the driver.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING ESCALATION STRATEGIES
    Publication number: 20240199088
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for alerting a driver to take control of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: determining, by a processor, a driver alertness level based on a weighted summation of a first set of feature data; determining, by the processor, a required alertness level based on a weighted summation of a second set of feature data; determining, by the processor, an escalation index based on the driver alertness level and the required alertness level; and generating, by the processor, alert notification data based on the escalation index.
