1. A method for governing control of a vehicle convoy, the convoy comprising at least a first vehicle with a first driver and a second vehicle with a second driver, the method for governing including:

  • measuring at least one physical characteristic of the first driver indicative of or related to stress of the first driver;

    determining automatically, by a data processor circuit, a stress level of the first driver based on the measured characteristic of the first driver;

    adjusting automatically, by the data processor circuit, the control algorithm based on the determined stress level of the first driver, and the control algorithm for the vehicle convoy sending an indication of a stress alarm to other drivers, including the second driver, of vehicles in the vehicle convoy when the determined stress level of the first driver exceeds a respective selected limit value for the stress level; and

    controlling automatically, by the data processor circuit, the vehicle convoy according to the adjusted control algorithm.
