Abstract

The system has a sensor arrangement for detecting a driving situation, a controller (2) and a device for detecting a driver's attention state. The controller controls a warning device and/or an actuator for intervening in vehicle behavior depending on sensing data and attention state. The attention state detector includes vehicle component control elements (5-9); the controller detects the attention state from their operation or non-operation. An Independent claim is also included for a method of detecting a vehicle driver's attention state.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrerassistenzsystem unter Berücksichtigung des Aufmerksamkeitszustandes eines Kraftfahrzeuges. The invention relates to a driver assistance system taking into account the Attention state of a motor vehicle.

Der Aufmerksamkeitszustand eines Kraftfahrzeugführers ist eine wichtige Eingangsgröße bei Fahrerassistenzsystemen, wie beispielsweise einem automatischen Notbremssystem oder einer Fahrspurkontrolle. Bei einem automatischen Notbremssystem wird beispielsweise über eine geeignete Sensorik ein potentielles Kollisions-Objekt erfasst: Aus der Entfernung und der Geschwindigkeit werden dann Ausweichrouten berechnet. Reagiert der Fahrer aber nicht, so gibt es einen Punkt, an dem eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist. In diesem Fall beginnt das automatische Notbremssystem mit der Verzögerung des Kraftfahrzeuges. Bei der Berechnung der Ausweichrouten bzw. dem Zeitpunkt, wo ein Ausweichen nicht mehr möglich ist, sind die Reaktionszeiten des Fahrers zu berücksichtigen. Anschaulich ist bei längeren Reaktionszeiten früher der Punkt erreicht, wo eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist. Reaktionszeit und Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers stehen jedoch in direktem Zusammenhang, so dass der Aufmerksamkeitszustand des Fahrers eine wichtige Eingangsgröße darstellt. Ähnliche Überlegungen gelten für eine Fahrspurkontrolle, wo unterschieden werden muss, ob es sich um ein gewolltes Verlassen der Fahrspur ohne gesetzten Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger handelt oder um ein Verlassen der Fahrspur aufgrund von Unaufmerksamkeit. A driver's state of alertness is an important one Input variable for driver assistance systems, such as an automatic one Emergency braking system or a lane control. With an automatic An emergency braking system, for example, becomes a potential one via a suitable sensor system Collision object detected: The distance and the speed are then Alternative routes calculated. However, if the driver does not respond, there is a point which a collision is inevitable. In this case the automatic starts Emergency braking system with the deceleration of the motor vehicle. When calculating the Dodge routes or the time when dodge is no longer possible are Driver response times must be taken into account. Is clear for longer ones Response times earlier reach the point where a collision is inevitable. However, the driver's reaction time and attentiveness are direct Context, so the driver's state of alertness is an important one Represents input variable. Similar considerations apply to lane control where A distinction must be made as to whether it is an intentional departure from the lane without set direction indicator or to leave the lane due to of inattention.

Aus der DE 38 03 916 A1 ist ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Ermittlung der Fahrtauglichkeit eines Fahrzeugführers, insbesondere nach längerer Fahrtzeit, während der Fahrt beschrieben, bei dem Ermüdung oder mangelnde Aufmerksamkeit durch Auswerten von Augenreaktionen auf stimulierte Reize festgestellt werden. Dabei testet eine geeignete Vorrichtung, wie beispielsweise eine Kamera, im Blickbereich einer kontrollierten Person deren individuelle, momentane Reaktion nach einer Stimulation durch Lichtreize. Die Auswertung der Augenreaktionen erfolgt mit Hilfe eines adaptiven Computer-Systems, wobei als Reaktion der Fahrer optisch oder akustisch gewarnt wird und gegebenenfalls in die Motordrosselung oder in die Bremse des Fahrzeuges eingegriffen wird, falls der Fahrer auf die Warnung nicht reagiert. Über diese Reaktionsprüfung durch statische Stimulation hinaus können über eine Schnittstelle zum Fahrzeug Werte wie Lenkwinkel, ABS, Gaspedal, Blinkerbetätigung, Drehzahlmessung, Daten eines Abstandswarnsystems sowie Beschleunigung und Verzögerungen mit der Auswertung der Augenbewegungen verknüpft werden und daraus ein Ermüdungs- oder Konditionszustand abgeleitet werden. Nachteilig an der bekannten Vorrichtung ist, dass insbesondere die Kamera mit dem adaptiven Computersystem technisch sehr aufwendig ist und über das Versuchsstadium noch nicht hinaus ist. DE 38 03 916 A1 describes a method and a device for determining the A driver's fitness to drive, especially after a long journey, during described driving through which fatigue or lack of attention is due Evaluate eye reactions to stimulated stimuli. Testing a suitable device, such as a camera, in the field of view of a controlled person's individual, instantaneous reaction after stimulation through light stimuli. The eye reactions are evaluated with the aid of an adaptive one Computer systems, the driver being warned optically or acoustically as a reaction and possibly in the engine throttling or in the brake of the vehicle intervenes if the driver does not respond to the warning. About these Reaction testing through static stimulation can be done via an interface to the Vehicle values such as steering angle, ABS, accelerator pedal, turn signal actuation, speed measurement, Distance warning system data as well as acceleration and deceleration with the Evaluation of the eye movements can be linked and a fatigue or Condition condition can be derived. A disadvantage of the known device is that in particular the camera with the adaptive computer system is technically very complex is and is not yet beyond the experimental stage.

Der Erfindung liegt daher das technische Problem zugrunde, ein Fahrerassistenzsystem mit einer Einrichtung zur Erfassung des Aufmerksamkeitszustandes eines Kraftfahrzeugführers zu schaffen, das technisch einfacher zu implementieren ist sowie ein hierzu geeignetes Verfahren zur Verfügung zu stellen. The invention is therefore based on the technical problem of a driver assistance system with a device for detecting the state of attention of a To create motor vehicle driver that is technically easier to implement as well to provide a suitable procedure for this.

Die Lösung des technischen Problems ergibt sich durch die Gegenstände mit den Merkmalen der Patentansprüche 1 und 6. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. The solution to the technical problem arises from the objects with the Features of claims 1 and 6. Further advantageous embodiments of the Invention result from the subclaims.

Hierzu umfasst die Einrichtung zur Erfassung des Aufmerksamkeitszustandes Bedienelemente vorhandener Fahrzeugkomponenten, aus deren Bestätigung bzw. Nichtbestätigung das Steuergerät des Fahrzeugassistenzsystems einen Aufmerksamkeitszustand ableitet. Hierdurch kann auf teure und technisch aufwendige Sensoriken verzichtet werden. For this purpose, the device for recording the state of attention includes Control elements of existing vehicle components, from their confirmation or Failure to confirm the control unit of the vehicle assistance system State of attention. This can lead to expensive and technically complex Sensors are dispensed with.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Fahrzeugkomponenten ein Bordcomputer und/oder ein Navigationssystem und/oder ein Autotelefon und/oder ein Infotainmentsystem und/oder ein Fahrzeugspiegel und/oder ein Schiebedach und/oder Pedale für Gas, Bremse, Gang. Der Grundgedanke dabei ist, dass der Fahrer bei der Betätigung von Bedienelementen von Komfortgeräten vom Verkehrsgeschehen abgelenkt ist. Ebenso kann bei der Verstellung des Außen- oder Rückspiegels geschlossen werden, dass der Fahrer in diesem Moment den rückwärtigen Verkehr betrachtet, also hinsichtlich des vorderen Verkehrsgeschehens unaufmerksam ist. Umgekehrt lässt sich aus der Betätigung der Pedale für Gas, Bremse oder Gang auf eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit schließen, da dies im Regelfall Handlungen sind, die in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Verkehrssituation erfolgen. Gleiches gilt für pendelnde Lenkwinkelbewegungen, die auch auf eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit schließen lassen. In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle components are one On-board computer and / or a navigation system and / or a car phone and / or a Infotainment system and / or a vehicle mirror and / or a sunroof and / or Pedals for gas, brake, gear. The basic idea is that the driver at the Actuation of controls of comfort devices from the traffic situation is distracted. Likewise, when adjusting the exterior or rearview mirror be concluded that the driver is currently reversing traffic considered, so is inattentive to the front traffic situation. Conversely, pressing the accelerator, brake or gear pedals pay close attention, as these are usually actions that occur in Dependence of the recorded traffic situation. The same applies to commuting Steering angle movements that also draw a lot of attention.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden mindestens teilweise die erfassten Betätigungssignale in Abhängigkeit der Daten eines Sitzbelegungssensors gewichtet. Der Grundgedanke dabei ist, dass bestimmte Betätigungen auch von einem Beifahrer erfolgen können, andere wiederum nicht. Wird beispielsweise das Bremspedal und ein Bedienelement des Infotainments gleichzeitig betätigt, so kann angenommen werden, dass der Beifahrer das Infotainment mit einer gewissen Wahrscheinlichkeit betätigt hat, insbesondere da die gleichzeitige Betätigung des Bremspedals eher für eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers spricht. Wird hingegen das Bedienelement alleine betätigt, so spielt dies in einem gewissen Grade für eine Unaufmerksamkeit des Fahrers. Wird hingegen das Infotainment bedient und es ist kein Beifahrer vorhanden, so spricht dies eindeutig für einen unaufmerksamen Fahrer. Andererseits existieren Bedienelemente, wie beispielsweise Außen- oder Rückspiegel, die stets vom Fahrer selbst verstellt werden, so dass deren Betätigung unabhängig vom Vorhandensein eines Beifahrers für einen unaufmerksamen Fahrer spricht. In a further preferred embodiment, the detected actuation signals depending on the data of a seat occupancy sensor weighted. The basic idea is that certain operations are also carried out by one Passengers can take place, others can not. For example, the brake pedal and operated an operating element of the infotainment at the same time, can be accepted that the passenger is infotainment with a certain probability has actuated, especially since the simultaneous actuation of the brake pedal rather for one driver's attention speaks. However, if the control element is used alone operated, this plays to a certain extent for an inattention of the Driver. However, if the infotainment is operated and there is no passenger, this clearly speaks for an inattentive driver. On the other hand, exist Controls, such as exterior or rear view mirrors, always by the driver be adjusted themselves, so that their operation regardless of the presence of a Passenger speaks for an inattentive driver.

Vorzugsweise ist das Fahrerassistenzsystem als automatisches Notbremssystem oder als Fahrspurkontrollsystem ausgebildet. The driver assistance system is preferably an automatic emergency braking system or designed as a lane control system.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt ein schematisches Blockschaltbild eines automatischen Notbremssystems. The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment explained. The single figure shows a schematic block diagram of an automatic Emergency braking system.

Das Notbremssystem 1 umfasst ein Steuergerät 2, mindestens einen Radarsensor 3 und einen Lidar-Sensor 4. Das Steuergerät 2 erhält Betätigungssignale von einem Bremspedal 5, einem Gaspedal 6, einem Gangpedal 7, mindestens einem Bedienelement 8 eines Infotainmentsystems und einem Rückspiegel 9 bzw. einem im Spiegelgelenk angeordneten Sensor. Des weiteren erhält das Steuergerät 2 die Geschwindigkeit V des Kraftfahrzeuges und ein Signal eines Sitzbelegungssensors 10 des Beifahrersitzes mitgeteilt. Ausgangsseitig ist das Steuergerät 2 mit einem Brems- Steuergerät 11 eines brake-by-wire-Systems verbunden, das auch elektrisch mit dem Bremspedal 5 verbunden ist. Der Radarsensor 3 und der Lidar-Sensor 4 liefern kontinuierlich Daten an das Steuergerät, das hieraus Objekte und deren Abstand detektiert. Aufgrund der Eigengeschwindigkeit V kann dann die Geschwindigkeit des Objektes anhand des Doppler-Effektes ermittelt werden. Aufgrund der Kenntnis der maximalen Verzögerung kann das Steuergerät 2 ermitteln, ab welchem Zeitpunkt eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist, wobei Ausweichrouten zur Umfahrung des Objektes berücksichtigt werden. Bei der Berechnung des Zeitpunktes, wo der Abbremsvorgang spätestens einsetzen müsste und auch die Reaktionszeit des Fahrers zu berücksichtigen. Diese kann empirisch ermittelt werden, wobei diese auch vom Aufmerksamkeitszustand des Fahrers abhängig ist. Um diese Reaktionszeit ist der Zeitpunkt der unvermeidlichen Kollision nach vorn zu verlegen. Prinzipiell könnte man stets mit der längsten Reaktionszeit rechnen. Dies würde jedoch dazu führen, dass häufig das automatische Notbremssystem bremsen würde, obwohl der Fahrer selbst noch reagieren könnte. Derartig häufig und spürbar eingreifende Fahrassistenzsysteme werden aber von der Mehrzahl der Kraftfahrzeugführer abgelehnt. Um nun die Anzahl der unnötigen Eingriffe zu reduzieren, muss daher der Aufmerksamkeitszustand und somit die Reaktionszeit des Fahrers abgeschätzt werden. The emergency braking system 1 comprises a control unit 2 , at least one radar sensor 3 and a lidar sensor 4 . The control unit 2 receives actuation signals from a brake pedal 5 , an accelerator pedal 6 , an accelerator pedal 7 , at least one control element 8 of an infotainment system and a rear view mirror 9 or a sensor arranged in the mirror joint. Furthermore, the control unit 2 receives the speed V of the motor vehicle and a signal from a seat occupancy sensor 10 of the front passenger seat. On the output side, control unit 2 is connected to a brake control unit 11 of a brake-by-wire system, which is also electrically connected to brake pedal 5 . The radar sensor 3 and the lidar sensor 4 continuously supply data to the control unit, which uses them to detect objects and their distance. Based on the intrinsic speed V, the speed of the object can then be determined using the Doppler effect. On the basis of the knowledge of the maximum deceleration, control unit 2 can determine from which point in time a collision is inevitable, alternative routes for bypassing the object being considered. When calculating the point in time at which the braking process should start at the latest and also the driver's reaction time must be taken into account. This can be determined empirically, which is also dependent on the driver's attentiveness. At this reaction time, the time of the inevitable collision has to be moved forward. In principle, you could always expect the longest response time. However, this would mean that the automatic emergency braking system would frequently brake even though the driver himself could still react. However, driver assistance systems that intervene frequently and noticeably are rejected by the majority of motor vehicle drivers. In order to reduce the number of unnecessary interventions, the driver's attentiveness and thus the reaction time must be estimated.

Hierzu werden nun die Betätigungssignale der Bedienelemente 5-9 sowie des Sitzbelegungssensors 10 ausgewertet. Dabei lassen sich vereinfacht folgende Gruppen aufstellen:

  • 1. Der Fahrer ist immer unaufmerksam, wenn der Rückspiegel 9 verstellt wird, da dieser dann immer den rückwärtigen Verkehrsraum beobachtet. Des weiteren ist der Fahrer unaufmerksam, wenn dieser ein Bedienelement 8 des Infotainmentsystems bedient und kein Beifahrer vorhanden ist.
  • 2. Der Fahrer gilt als aufmerksam, wenn dieser eines der Pedale 5-7 betätigt und nicht die Bedienelemente 8 oder den Rückspiegel 9 betätigt.
  • 3. Der Fahrer ist vielleicht unaufmerksam, wenn die Pedale 5-7 betätigt werden und gleichzeitig das Bedienelement 8 betätigt wird, wenn ein Beifahrer vorhanden ist. Gleiches gilt, wenn nur das Bedienelement 8 bei vorhandenem Beifahrer bedient wird. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine mittlere Reaktionszeit zwischen aufmerksam und unaufmerksam berücksichtigt werden. Des weiteren kann hier auch eine Fuzzy-Logik zur Anwendung kommen.
For this purpose, the actuation signals of the controls 5-9 and the seat occupancy sensor 10 are now evaluated. The following groups can be simplified:
  • 1. The driver is always inattentive when the rearview mirror 9 is adjusted, since this then always observes the rear traffic area. Furthermore, the driver is inattentive when he is operating an operating element 8 of the infotainment system and there is no passenger.
  • 2. The driver is considered attentive if he actuates one of the pedals 5-7 and does not actuate the control elements 8 or the rear view mirror 9 .
  • 3. The driver may be inattentive when the pedals 5-7 are operated and the control element 8 is operated at the same time when a passenger is present. The same applies if only the control element 8 is operated with an existing passenger. This can be taken into account, for example, by a mean response time between attentive and inattentive. Fuzzy logic can also be used here.

Kommt dann das Steuergerät 2 zu der Entscheidung, dass eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist, so wird das Brems-Steuergerät 11 angesteuert und die automatische Notbremsung eingeleitet. If the control unit 2 then comes to the decision that a collision is inevitable, the brake control unit 11 is activated and the automatic emergency braking is initiated.
