Fatigue Time Determination for an Activity
First Claim
1. A method for generating an alert when a driver of a vehicle experiences an onset of fatigue due to driving, the method comprising:
- identifying the driver of the vehicle to determine a continuous driving time associated with the driver;
determining an Actual Fatigue Time (AFT) for the driver based upon at least one external parameter; and
generating an alert at a predetermined time based on the continuous driving time and the AFT.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining an actual fatigue time (AFT) for an activity are provided. The method comprises receiving a standard fatigue time (SFT) representing a time duration. The SFT is indicative of an onset of fatigue in individuals upon continuously performing the activity. The method further comprises receiving at least one external parameter and a fatigue index corresponding to the at least one external parameter. The at least one external parameter and the fatigue index are associated with the activity. The method further comprises determining the AFT for the activity based upon the SFT and the fatigue index.
