First Claim
1. A method for determining a workload level for a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving data from a remote location, the data including a remote workload level and information associated with the remote workload level;
determining a current characteristic of the vehicle;
comparing the current characteristic of the vehicle with the information associated with the remote workload level;
determining a current workload level of the driver of the vehicle, the current workload level being based at least in part on the remote workload level.

Abstract
System and method for determining a workload level for a driver of a vehicle. The system includes a transceiver, a positioning unit, and a controller. The transceiver is capable of receiving data from a remote location. The data includes a remote workload level and a remote geographic position associated with the remote workload level. The positioning unit is capable of determining a current position of the vehicle. The controller is configured to compare the current position of the vehicle with the remote geographic location. If the current position of the vehicle is within a predetermined range of the remote geographic position, then a workload level for the vehicle will include at least in part the remote workload level.

8. A method for determining workload levels of drivers in vehicles, the method comprising:
-
determining a first workload level for a first driver of a first vehicle;
determining a first position of the first vehicle;
associating the first workload level with the first position;
transmitting the first workload level and the first position to a second vehicle; and
determining a second workload level for a second driver of the second vehicle, wherein the second workload level is determined at least in part based on the first workload level and the first position. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
