1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
record depressions of a brake pedal and acceleration pedal during a time window;
add a first value to an index value for successive depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal;
add a second value to the index value for alternative depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal;
determine a traffic-level based on the index value size at an end of the time window.

Abstract
A system includes a vehicle processor configured to detect one or more brake presses. The processor is also configured to detect one or more accelerator presses. Further, the processor is configured to add values related to the brake presses and accelerator presses to aggregate an index value based on detected brake and acceleration presses. The processor is additionally configured to enact a safety and convenience related measure based on the index value passing at least a first predetermined threshold.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
incrementing an index value by a first value for successive depressions of either a brake or acceleration pedal during a monitoring time-window; incrementing the index value by a second value for alternative depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal during the monitoring time-window; determining a traffic-level based on the index value size at an end of the monitoring time-window. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a computer-implemented method comprising:
-
recording depressions of a brake pedal and acceleration pedal during a time window; adding a first value to an index value for successive depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal; adding a second value to the index value for alternative depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal; determining a traffic-level based on the index value size at an end of the time window. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
