ASSISTANCE DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE STOPPING AND RESTARTING OF A VEHICLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GLOBAL VIGILANCE LEVEL OF THE DRIVER

摘要

A driver assistance device (DA) equips a vehicle (V) comprising processing means (MT) capable of estimating a level of overall vigilance of the driver. This device (DA) comprises control means (TCM) adapted to control the acceleration, braking and steering of the vehicle (V) as a function of the overall level of vigilance estimated, and an imposed stop of the vehicle (V) in one authorized place of its environment when the estimated overall level of vigilance is lower than a first threshold, and capable of authorizing a restart of the vehicle (V) in the event of replacement of the driver or, without replacement of the driver, when the estimated overall level of vigilance has become greater than a second threshold, greater than or equal to the first threshold, and / or when the duration of the imposed stop is greater than or equal to a third threshold.
