System and method for determining the information transfer rate between a driver and vehicle
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining an information transfer rate in a vehicle, comprising:
- measuring driver information;
measuring vehicle information;
calculating a forward information transfer rate from a driver to the vehicle using the driver information and the vehicle information over a period of time;
calculating a reverse information transfer rate from the vehicle to the driver using the driver information and the vehicle information over the period of time; and
calculating a driver control state using the forward information transfer rate and the reverse information transfer rate.
