Interaction with driver’s physical condition (1)

Heart beat and Oxigen amount in blood:

• Measuring point in gear stick and/or steering wheel integrated

• Acoustical signals to get attention

• Use existing technology such as in fitness machines

• Supported by current state of the art technology

• Medical diagnostic tool (confidential issues)

• Calibration of heart beat range by a doctor

• Smart Card to make these information portable

PIEV (Perception, Interpretation, Emotion, Volition):

• Sensors to track braking, road side and steering behavior

• Integration and Quality improvement for existing sensors

• Enforce regulation or give incentive (insurance, toll discount, coupon)

Interaction with the roadside environment (1)

Sound filtering:

• Technology is already existing but standardization of signal frequency is necessary (sirens)

• Acoustical and visual warning about the approaching emergency vehicle combined with lowering the interior noise (music etc.)

• Incentive or law driven

• Time to implement system will be long due to standardization process

Transponder for children and pets:

• Implant under skin

• Technology is on its way

• Radar necessary to detect objects

• Smart clothing

• Law enforcement would be recommended / cooperation issues

Fog sensor network / Broadcast Road Condition:

• Burstmode transition (DC)

• Sensor devices measure traction

• Send actual information about the road

• Interface / display the received information / warnings

• Liability issues

• Automatic on/off mechanism (Night Vision / Fog light)

Reduction of the driver’s distractions (1)

By cell phone:

• Enable / disable function for voice control

• Technical device for measuring and categorising the level of distraction (noise, alertness) and / or device about road / traffic conditions eg. speed

• Speed limitation for phone calls

• If driving condition becomes critical the call might be placed on hold or is disconnected

Reduction of the driver’s distractions (2)

By Passenger:

• Adaptive cruise control: keeps you in the track, separates your car and the leading car, observes and reacts to merging traffic

• Radar and optical device necessary to adhere cars in lane

• Temporarily autopiloting for driver

• Legal issues

Smart Card Reader

• Customization (Language, Seat/ Mirror, dashboard color)

• Personal Information (blood type, diseases, etc.)

• Portable and usable in different cars

s

CP RS

• Continuously monitors vehicle performance

• If problem detected, system sends proper information to Service Center (via cellphone or internet)

• Service Center calculates reparation time

• Maintenance is scheduled and driver informed

Vehicle condition monitoring (1)

s

CP RS

System assesses potential dangers due to malfunctions and alerts cars behind with a three-level alarm

– Careful

– Warning

– Danger

E.g. Tires loosing pressure, heart attack of driver, driver falling asleep.
