1. A method of controlling vehicle systems in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- receiving monitoring information from one or more monitoring systems;
determining a plurality of driver states of a driver based on the monitoring information from the one or more monitoring systems;
determining a combined driver state index based on the plurality of driver states, wherein the combined driver state index is a variable dependent on a result of evaluating each of the plurality of driver states together; and
modifying control of one or more vehicle systems as a function of the combined driver state index.

Abstract
A method for controlling vehicle systems includes receiving monitoring information from one or more monitoring systems and determining a plurality of driver states based on the monitoring information from the one or more monitoring systems. The method includes determining a combined driver state based on the plurality of driver states and modifying control of one or more vehicle systems based on the combined driver state.

16. A method of controlling vehicle systems in a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving monitoring information from one or more monitoring systems; determining a plurality of driver states selected from one of the following types of driver states;
physiological driver state, behavioral driver state, and vehicular-sensed driver state, wherein the plurality of driver states are based on the monitoring information from the one or more monitoring systems;determining a combined driver state index based on the plurality of driver states, wherein the combined driver state index is a physiological, a behavioral, and a vehicular-sensed measurement of the driver resulting from combining the plurality of driver states; and modifying control of one or more vehicle systems based on the combined driver state index. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
