A SEAT ASSEMBLY FOR MONITORING AND ALERTING A DRIVER BASED ON HIS/HER FATIGUE AND/OR BEHAVIOR

摘要

A non-intrusive method (100) for determining and responding to fatigue and inattention of a driver is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one monitoring device (102) at a predetermined location to continuously generate at least onefirst signalbased on a physiological feature ofsaid driver. Further, providing a data acquisition system (104) to record and compare the magnitudes of the first signal with a standard signal indicative of the drivers degree of alertness. Furthermore, alerting the driver when the magnitude of the first signal exceeds that of the second signal. Fig. 3
