Driving condition-monitoring apparatus for automotive vehicles
First Claim
1. A driving condition-monitoring apparatus for an automotive vehicle, for monitoring a driving condition of a driver of said automotive vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- driving condition-detecting means for detecting at least one of behavior of said vehicle, a driving operation of said driver, and at least one condition of said driver to thereby generate driving condition-indicative data indicative of said driving condition of said driver;
first driving condition-determining means for determining whether said driving condition of said driver is abnormal, based on said driving condition-indicative data generated by said driving condition-detecting means;
second driving condition-determining means for determining a degree of normality of said driving condition of said driver, by inputting a plurality of pieces of said driving condition-indicative data to a neural network when said first driving condition-determining means does not determine that said driving condition of said driver is abnormal; and
control means for carrying out at least one of warning and control of said vehicle depending upon a result of the determination by said first driving condition-determining means and said degree of normality of said driving condition of said driver determined by said second driving condition-determining means.

Abstract
A driving condition-monitoring apparatus for an automotive vehicle monitors a driving condition of a driver of the automotive vehicle. At least one of behavior of the vehicle, a driving operation of the driver, and at least one condition of the driver is detected to thereby generate driving condition-indicative data indicative of the driving condition of the driver. It is determined whether the driving condition of the driver is abnormal, based on the driving condition-indicative data generated. When it is not determined that the driving condition of the driver is abnormal, a degree of normality of the driving condition of the driver is determined by inputting a plurality of pieces of the driving condition-indicative data to a neural network. At least one of warning and control of the vehicle is carried out depending on a result of the determination as to whether the driving condition of the driver is abnormal and the degree of normality of the driving condition of the driver.
