ADAPTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH DRIVING STYLE RECOGNITION AND ROAD CONDITION RECOGNITION
First Claim
1. A system for classifying a driver'"'"'s driving style of a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a plurality of vehicle sensors providing sensor measurement signals;
a road condition recognition processor responsive to the sensor signals, said road condition recognition processor providing road condition signals identifying road conditions; and
a style characterization processor responsive to maneuver identifier signals, the sensor measurement signals and the road condition signals, said style characterization processor classifying driving style based on the signals and providing driver style classification signals that identify the type of driver driving the vehicle.

Abstract
An adaptive vehicle control system that classifies a driver'"'"'s driving style based on characteristic maneuvers and road and traffic conditions. The system includes a plurality of vehicle sensors that detect various vehicle parameters. A maneuver identification processor receives the sensor signals to identify a characteristic maneuver of the vehicle and provides a maneuver identifier signal of the maneuver. The system also includes a road condition recognition processor that receives the sensor signals, and provides road condition signals identifying road conditions. A style characterization processor receives the maneuver identifier signals, sensor signals from the vehicle sensors and the road condition signals, and classifies driving style based on the signals to classify the style of the driver driving the vehicle.
