DEVICE FOR AIDING THE DRIVING OF A VEHICLE AS A FUNCTION OF AN ESTIMATION OF AT LEAST ONE LEVEL OF OVERALL VIGILANCE OF THE DRIVER

摘要

A device (DA) is intended to aid a driver to drive a vehicle (V) during a running phase, and comprises: - analysis means (MA) arranged so as to detect, on the one hand, at least one cause of inattentiveness of the driver in first data representative of a behaviour of this driver, and, on the other hand, at least one effect of this inattentiveness in second data representative of images of a portion of a traffic lane situated in front of the vehicle (V) and on which the latter (V) is travelling, and - processing means (MT) arranged so as to estimate at least one level of overall vigilance of the driver as a function of each cause of inattentiveness and each effect of inattentiveness which are determined during a chosen time interval, and for generating a message intended to be broadcast in the vehicle (V) and representative of the estimated level of overall vigilance when this level is greater than a first chosen threshold.
