Abstract: A device for detecting the distraction of a driver of a vehicle is disclosed. The device includes an image acquisition assembly to acquire at least one image of a detection area located in said vehicle, said detection area comprising at least part of the driver of the vehicle, a processing module for processing the acquired image, designed to determine: a direction associated with the head of the driver, and a position of at least one hand of the driver, and an analysis module designed to detect the distraction of said driver by determining, on the basis of the direction associated with the head and the position of at least one hand, the possible presence of at least one hand in the direction associated with the head of the driver. A method for detecting the distraction of a driver of a vehicle is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heads-up display (1) comprising —an image generator (3), —a semi-reflecting display area (7) receiving light beams from said image generator (3), —characterized in that the semi-reflecting area (7) comprises at least one opaque portion or can be rendered opaque.

Abstract: Method and system for generating audio signals (9) representative of a text (3) to be converted, the method includes the steps of: providing a database (1) of acoustic units, identifying a list of pre-calculated expressions (10), and recording, for each pre-calculated expression, an acoustic frame (7) corresponding to it being pronounced, decomposing, by virtue of correlation calculations, each recorded acoustic frame into a sequenced table (5) including a series of acoustic unit references modulated by amplitude (?(i)A) and temporal (?(i)T) form factors , identifying in the text the pre-calculated expressions and decomposing the rest (12) into phonemes, inserting in place of each pre-calculated expression the corresponding sequenced table, and preparing a concatenation of acoustic units (19) according to the text to be converted.

Abstract: A method of assisting in road navigation for a vehicle includes: identifying the active route of the vehicle from a navigation system including elements for locating the vehicle and mapping, extracting, from calculating elements, a plurality of radii of curvature of the active route which are calculated from a first sampling of points of the active route, calculating: the points of the active route corresponding to curvature angle inversions, the active route between two curve inversions representing a bend, and the length of each section of the active route between two consecutive inversion points; generating a road profile including at least generating a section in a referential system in which the radius of curvature is a function of the length of the bend, and displaying the generated road profile.
