Method and device for classifying the driving style of a driver in a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. Method for classifying the driving style of a driver in a motor vehicle, in which measured variables indicative of driving style are recorded and driving-style classification figures are determined by a comparison with reference values, parameter settings corresponding to the driving-style classification figures being carried out to adapt the functioning of a regulation and control unit said method comprising the steps of:
- storing presettings for the driving-style classification figures in said regulation and control unit, wherein there exist driving-style classification figures for a plurality of different driver reaction stages, and classifying a current driver of the vehicle in a prescribed driver reaction stage by measuring classifying indicators, and activating driving-style classification figures corresponding to the driver reaction stage in the regulation and control unit.

Abstract
In a method for classifying the driving style of a driver in a motor vehicle, measured variables indicative of driving style are recorded and driving-style classification figures are determined by a comparison with reference values, parameter settings corresponding to the driving-style classification figures being carried out to adapt the functioning of a regulation and control unit.
In order to improve the handling of a motor vehicle with the aid of a driver classification, it is provided that presettings for the driving-style classification figures are stored in the regulation and control unit of the motor vehicle, it being possible to prescribe driving-style classification figures for a plurality of different driver reaction stages, and that the current driver is classified in a prescribed driver reaction stage in the motor vehicle by measuring classifying indicators, and driving-style classification figures corresponding to the driver reaction stage are activated in the regulation and control unit.

17. Device for classifying the driving style of a driver in a motor vehicle comprising a motor vehicle sensor system for measuring signals indicative of driving style which can be compared with signals corresponding to reference values for generating driving-style classification figures to be stored in a regulation and control unit, signals corresponding to parameter settings being assigned to the driving classification figures for the purpose of adapting the functioning of the regulation and control unit wherein:
-
the regulation and control unit of the motor vehicle has stored therein previously determined driving-style classification figures for a plurality of different driver reaction stages; and
the signal generator provides measuring signals (SMess) in the motor vehicle for the purpose of driver type classification and classification in the corresponding driver reaction stage.
