1. A system for monitoring vehicle operator mirror check procedures, comprising:
- a wearable electronic device configured to be worn on a head of an operator of a vehicle, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises a motion sensor;
a processing device that is configured to receive a first set of motion data from the motion sensor corresponding to the head of the operator, wherein the first set of motion data comprises yaw, pitch, or roll of the wearable electronic device, distance travelled by the wearable electronic device in a linear or a rotational direction, linear or angular velocity of movement of the wearable electronic device, or linear angular acceleration of the wearable electronic device;
a memory device portion containing data representative of a mirror check procedure; and
a memory device portion containing programming instructions that are configured to cause the processing device to;
receive the first set of motion data transmitted from the motion sensor,analyze the first set of motion data to detect a pattern of motion corresponding to the head of the operator,compare the detected pattern of motion to the mirror check procedure to determine whether the pattern of motion complies with the mirror check procedure, andif the pattern of motion does not comply with the mirror check procedure, generate an alert.

Abstract
A system for monitoring vehicle operator mirror check procedure includes a wearable electronic device configured to be worn on the head of a vehicle operator. The wearable device includes a motion sensor. A processor that receives motion data from the motion sensor, analyzes the motion data to detect a pattern of motion, and compares the detected pattern of motion to the mirror check procedure to determine whether the pattern of motion complies with the mirror check procedure. If the pattern of motion does not comply with the mirror check procedure, the system will generate an alert.

11. A method for monitoring vehicle operator mirror check procedures, comprising:
-
receiving, at a processing device, a first set of motion data, corresponding to a head of an operator of a vehicle, from a motion sensor of a wearable electronic device configured to be worn on the head of the operator of the vehicle, wherein the first set of motion data comprises yaw, pitch, or roll of the wearable electronic device, distance travelled by the wearable electronic device in a linear or a rotational direction, linear or angular velocity of movement of the wearable electronic device, or linear angular acceleration of the wearable electronic device; analyzing, by the processing device, the first set of motion data to detect a pattern of motion corresponding to the head of the operator; comparing, by the processing device, the detected pattern of motion to data representative of a mirror check procedure to determine whether the pattern of motion complies with the mirror check procedure; and generating, by the processing device, an alert, if the pattern of motion does not comply with the mirror check procedure. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
