The AP is an artificial
intelligence–based companion that will be resident in software and chips
embedded in the automobile dashboard. The heart of the system is a conversation
planner that holds a profile of you, including details of your interests and
profession. A microphone picks up your answer and breaks it down into separate
words with speech-recognition software. A camera built into the dashboard also
tracks your lip movements to improve the accuracy of the speech recognition. A
voice analyzer then looks for signs of tiredness by checking to see if the
answer matches your profile. Slow responses and a lack of intonation are signs
of fatigue.
This research suggests that we can
make predictions about various aspects of driver performance based on what we
glean from the movements of a driver’s eyes and that a system can eventually be
developed to capture this data and use it to alert people when their driving
has become significantly impaired by fatigue. The AP is an artificial

has become significantly impaired by fatigue. The natural dialog
car system analyzes a driver’s answer and the contents of the answer together
with his voice patterns to determine if he is alert while driving. The system
warns the driver or changes the topic of conversation if the system determines
that the driver is about to fall asleep. The system may also detect whether a
driver is affected by alcohol or drugs.
A primary
objective of the invention is to provide a system and method for monitoring
driver alertness with a single camera focused on the face of the driver to
monitor for conditions of driver fatigue and lack of sleep. A secondary
objective of the invention is to provide a system and method for monitoring
driver alertness which operates in real time which would be sufficient time to
avert an accident. A
third objective of the invention is to provide a system and method for
monitoring driver alertness that uses a computer vision to monitor both the
eyes and the rotation of the driver's head through video sequences.
