Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING DRIVING SAFETY OF A VEHICLE TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a method for improving driving safety of a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention relates to a system for improving driving safety of a vehicle. The invention also relates to a vehicle. The invention in addition relates to a computer program and a computer program product.
BACKGROUND ART During drive of a vehicle in different conditions, the state of the driver may undesirably influence driving safety. Due to various reasons affecting the state of the driver such as lack of sleep, monotonous driving, health conditions of the driver the driver may operate the vehicle in an unsafe way risking the safety of the driver, other vehicle occupants, other vehicles, pedestrians or the like.
In order to prevent such accidents vehicles are provided with systems comprising means for determining the state of the driver, e.g. drowsiness of the driver, and means for activating predetermined measures such as activating a fan to blow air on the driver, activating sound, activating tactile device or the like, in order to improve the state of the driver so as to improve driving safety.
EP0227610 discloses a device for improving the driving safety of a vehicle consisting of the use of a pressurised air source within the passenger compartment of the vehicle and of the periodic direction of a jet of air substantially towards the face of the driver when driving conditions indicative of possible tendency of the driver to torpor.
US20120212353A1 discloses methods of assessing driver behaviour including vehicle systems and driver monitoring systems to accommodate for a driver’s slow reaction time, attention lapse and/or alertness. When it is determined that a driver is drowsy the response system may modify the operation of one or more vehicle systems. The system includes for example visual devices, audio devices and/or tactile devices.
A problem is that the state of the driver undesirably influencing driving safety may return during the current drive and during drive on other occasions which might affect driving safety.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving driving safety of a vehicle where the state of the driver may be considered to undesirably influence driving safety which facilitates further reducing the risk for accidents involving the driver.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for improving driving safety of a vehicle where the state of the driver may be considered to undesirably influence driving safety which further reducing the risk for accidents involving the driver.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These and other objects, apparent from the following description, are achieved by a method, a system, a vehicle, a computer program and a computer program product, as set out in the appended independent claims.
Preferred embodiments of the method and the system are defined in appended dependent claims.
Specifically an object of the invention is achieved by a method for improving driving safety of a vehicle. The method comprises the steps of: determining the state of the driver; determining if said determined state of the driver may be considered to undesirably influence driving safety; and, if so, activating predetermined measures so as to improve driving safety. The method further comprises the steps of: storing cases of said activation of said predetermined measures; and making the thus stored cases of activation of said predetermined measures available for future actions for improving said driving safety.
By said storage and making the storage available for driver, haulage contractor or the like driving safety may be improved. A future action is according to an embodiment presenting the stored cases of activation of predetermined measures for the driver so that the driver is made aware of the cases and the state the driver was in, e.g. drowsiness, risking causing unsafe behaviour. Hereby the driver may be encouraged to improve the driving behaviour. The driver could even be judged by such cases of activation. A future action is according to an embodiment making the stored cases of activation of predetermined measures available for a haulage contractor or the like. The information regarding number of cases of activation of predetermined measures and type of predetermined measure may hereby be used by the haulage contractor or other recipient to identify such cases of certain drivers and if it is repeated on other occasions. By thus identifying repeated cases of state of drivers undesirably influencing driving safety proper measures can be taken in order to improve safety such as identifying the reason and educate the driver if possible, or take measures such as removing/replacing the driver. The information about driving behaviour, i.e. repeated cases of state of drivers undesirably influencing driving safety, may also be used for insurance purposes and/or for the police.
Further, the method the step of making the thus stored cases of activation of said predetermined measures available for future actions comprises the step of making said stored cases of activation of said predetermined measures available for the driver and/or external recipients. Hereby driving safety may be improved in that the driver may be encouraged to improve the driving behaviour. The driver could even be judged by such stored cases of activation. Availability to external recipients such as haulage contractors facilitates identifying repeated cases of state of drivers undesirably influencing driving safety. Hereby proper actions can be taken in order to improve safety such as identifying the reason and educate the driver if possible, or take actions such as removing/replacing the driver. Availability to external recipients such as insurance companies facilitates using the information about driving behaviour, i.e. repeated cases of state of drivers undesirably influencing driving safety, for insurance purposes.
Still further, the method comprises the step of choosing another predetermined measure than the one previously chosen if the state of the driver is not changed as a result of said previously chosen measures. The current measures, e.g. blowing of air, may not be sufficient other measures may thus be applied such as escalating the current measures by e.g. tactile measure, sound measures or the like. Hereby driving safety is improved.
According to an embodiment of the method the step of determining if said determined state of the driver may be considered to undesirably influence driving safety is performed continuously for detecting changes in the state of the driver as a result of said activated predetermined measures. Hereby it may be determined if the state of the driver has worsened, e.g. the state of the driver changes from drowsy to momentary sleep, or improved, e.g. the state of the driver changes from drowsy to a wake state. If the state of the driver has worsened the current measures, e.g. blowing of air, sounds, tactile measures or the like, may not be sufficient other measures may be applied such as limiting drive or put vehicle to a safe stop. If the state of the driver has improved current measures may be reset/ cancelled or set to a level sufficient for the current state of the driver.
According to an embodiment of the method said predetermined measures are correlated to the determined state of the driver. If the state of the driver has worsened or is not improving by the current measures, e.g. if blowing of air is not sufficient, other measures may be applied such as escalating the current measures by e.g. tactile measure, sound measures or the like, and/or applying limiting measures such as e.g. limiting drive or put vehicle to a safe stop. If the state of the driver has improved the current measures may be reset/ cancelled or set to a level sufficient for the current state of the driver. Hereby the driving safety is improved. Further the driver is not subjected to unnecessary predetermined measures if the state of the driver has changed to a state not risking affecting driving safety.
According to an embodiment the method comprises the step of choosing said future actions depending on the activated predetermined measures. Hereby the future actions are adapted to the stored cases of activation of said predetermined measures such that e.g. a minor predetermined measure which only occurred once may only result in a future action in the form of a presentation to the driver, whereas a more sever predetermined measure which occurred on several occasions during drive may result in the information being provided to external recipients.
According to an embodiment of the method said predetermined measures comprises the measure of limiting the driveability of the vehicle. Such a predetermined measure may be e.g. limiting the speed of the vehicle or bringing the vehicle to a safe stop in a controlled manner. Such a predetermined measure may be applied if the state of the driver is not improved or the state of the driver is worsened.
According to an embodiment of the method said predetermined measures comprises the measure of attracting the attention of the driver in order to change the state of the driver. Such predetermined measure may be blowing of air, activation of sounds, tactile measures or the like.
According to an embodiment the method comprises the step of resetting an activated certain predetermined measure as a result of the fact that a predetermined criteria regarding the driver and/or the vehicle is fulfilled. Hereby a safe way of resetting an activated predetermined measure is facilitated in that certain criteria needs to be fulfilled. Such criteria may be that the vehicle has been put to a stop at a certain position, a certain time has passed, another driver is identified or the like. The reset of an activated certain predetermined measure may be a reset to normal drive without any activated predetermined measure or reset to another certain predetermined measure, e.g. a change from a measure of limiting the driveability of the vehicle to a measure of attracting the attention of the driver.
Specifically an object of the invention is achieved by a system for improving driving safety of a vehicle according to the independent system claim.
The system further comprises the embodiments according to dependent system claims.
The system according to the invention has the advantages according to the corresponding method claims.
