Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for detecting sleep in vehicle drivers and more particularly to a device for detecting the falling asleep of the driver of a motor vehicle and issuing a warning that wakes the driver.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device for sleep detection that can reliably detect the falling asleep of a vehicle driver.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention relate to devices for detecting the falling asleep of the driver of a motor vehicle, in particular an automobile.
- the invention is based on the consideration that while driving, the holding of the steering wheel is the most important contact between the driver and the vehicle. By releasing the steering wheel in the sleep phase, the steering wheel moves freely and the vehicle loses its lane, which can cause an accident.
- the solution according to the invention of the problem indicated above is therefore based on the monitoring of this contact.
- the parameter that monitors is the pressure with which the driver holds the steering wheel. If this pressure decreases, this is interpreted as a sign of the driver falling asleep.
- the device of the invention according to claim 1 comprises a pressure sensor on the gripping surface of a steering device of a vehicle for detecting the pressure exerted by the grip of the vehicle driver on the grip surface, and detecting means for detecting a release of the pressure due to slackening of the grip. Based on this decrease in pressure, falling asleep by the driver can be reliably detected.
- Claims 3 and 4 relate to expedient embodiments of the pressure sensor, which covers the gripping surface.
- the claims 5 and 6 relate to advantageous embodiments of the detection device for reliably detecting a decrease in pressure, which indicates a fall asleep the vehicle driver.
- the warning device specified in claim 7 is advantageous to wake the sleeping vehicle driver again.
- FIG. 1 shows a device for sleep detection in vehicle drivers according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 1 shows an apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention by way of example in the use of sleep detection in a driver of a motor vehicle.
- the motor vehicle is provided with a steering device 1 in the form of a steering wheel.
- the device can also be used with steering devices of other vehicles such as control sticks of aircraft or handlebars of motorcycles.
- the surface of the ring and preferably also of the spokes of the steering wheel 1 represents a gripping surface on which the driver of the motor vehicle can grip the steering wheel.
- the entire gripping surface of the steering wheel 1 is a flat Pressure sensor 2 is provided which outputs a signal representing the pressure exerted by the driver's grip on the gripping surface.
- the signal represents, for example, of all pressures acting simultaneously on the gripping surface, for example the maximum pressure, but preferably the entire local distribution of the pressure on the gripping surface.
- the pressure sensor 2 of the embodiment is preferably a flat pressure sensor with which the steering wheel is coated, for example, a pressure-sensitive textile, which is a textile pressure sensor, which provides an electrical signal dependent on the pressure exerted thereon and the location of the pressure on the textile surface.
- a pressure-sensitive textile which is a textile pressure sensor, which provides an electrical signal dependent on the pressure exerted thereon and the location of the pressure on the textile surface.
- Such sensors are known, for example, from WO 2007/059971 A2. They allow continuous real-time local and quantitative documentation of the pressure exerted by the driver's grip on the steering wheel.
- a detection device 3 receives the signal from the pressure sensor 2. When the hands of the driver slacken, the pressure reproduced by the signal decreases. The detection device 3 detects the release of the pressure and interprets it as a sign of falling asleep the driver. When the pressure is released, it controls a signal generator 4 to emit a warning signal, which wakes the driver again.
- the warning signal may be an audible signal and / or a vibration of the steering wheel or accelerator pedal.
- the signal generator is a loudspeaker 4 for emitting an acoustic warning signal.
- the detection device 3 uses the maximum pressure delivered by the pressure sensor 2 in the signal as described, or it obtains this maximum pressure from the pressure distribution as described by the pressure sensor 2. It compares the maximum pressure with a set pressure threshold and detects the driver falling asleep when the maximum pressure falls below the pressure threshold. Then it controls the signal generator 4 to deliver the warning signal. Preferably, in order to detect the release of the pressure, it further evaluates the distribution of the pressure on the grip surface of the steering wheel 1 provided by the pressure sensor 2 and also recognizes a falling asleep of the driver, if that surface, by the pressure on the gripping surface of the steering wheel 1 is less than a set surface threshold. Also, the detection device 3 controls the signal generator 4 to deliver the Warning signal on.
- a slackening of the grip of the driver on the gripping surface which indicates a falling asleep the driver, can already by at least one of the events, ie the decrease in the maximum pressure below the threshold pressure, and / or the decrease in the area over which the Pressure is present, below the surface threshold noticeable.
- the detection device 3 of the embodiment is preferably set up to carry out the following functions.
- the moment of release of the pressure or release of the steering wheel is detected from the signal of the pressure sensor 2.
- this event is linked by the detection device 3 with other events and the warning signal is triggered only if at the same time, for example, one or more of the following further events occur:
- the motor vehicle is in motion or runs at a certain minimum speed, which is recognizable by the signal of the speed sensor installed in the motor vehicle;
- the pressure on the gas pedal decreases, which can be recognized by the signal of the gas pedal sensor, which is usually installed in the motor vehicle anyway;
- the driver's eyes are closed, which can be monitored by a camera;
- EEG or respiratory sensors indicate that the driver is falling asleep.
- the detection device 3 has a connection 5 for connection to other sensors installed in the motor vehicle.
- the terminal 5 is arranged for receiving the signals of the speed sensor and the accelerator pedal sensor (not shown).
- the detection means 3 may be arranged to measure the lowest pressure which the driver exerts on the gripping surface within this time period and the smallest area over which the driver exerts pressure on the gripping surface within this time period and the measured or slightly smaller values after the end of the time period, to be used as the pressure threshold and the area threshold for the following trip.
- the detection means measures the maximum pressure value anywhere on the gripping surface at any time within this period and uses the smallest of the maximum pressure values measured at different times or a slightly smaller value than the pressure threshold value for the following drive.
- the detection device can be set up to perform the mentioned measurement again within these time periods and to update the threshold values in the event of deviations from the original measurement.
- the detection means 3 may be arranged to determine, based on the signal from the pressure sensor 2, whether the driver grips the steering wheel at two different locations with his two hands, and to detect slackening of the handle as a sign of the driver falling asleep when the pressure is applied decreases both these places at the same time, ie in particular falls simultaneously below the pressure threshold.
- the detection device 3 can therefore be set up to detect a falling asleep of the driver if the places where pressure is exerted on the gripping surface shift only downwards over a time period lasting more than one time threshold, but not upwards.
