System and method for real-time recognition of driving patterns
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for optimizing driver-vehicle performance in a driver operated vehicle, said method comprising:
- collecting, on a substantially real-time basis, multiple measurements of at least one driver characteristic by direct body scan of an active driver of a vehicle;
predicting a current driving environment within which the vehicle is presently being driven from a computer-based evaluation of said measurements; and
adapting at least one performance characteristic of the vehicle based on said evaluation and thereby potentiating the vehicle'"'"'s performance for the predicted driving environment.

Abstract
System and method for real-time, automatic, recognition of large time-scale driving patterns employs a statistical pattern recognition framework, implemented by means of feed-forward neural network utilizing models developed for recognizing, for example, four classes of driving environments, namely highway, main road, suburban traffic and city traffic, from vehicle performance data. A vehicle control application effects changes in vehicle performance aspects based on the recognized driving environment.
