Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning system" may be combined with the
"
Fatigue detection system".
Using
a camera placed at the top of the
w
indscreen, the system assesses the driver's
l
evel of vigilance by identifying variations in
t
rajectory compared to the lane markings.
This
system is particularly suited to fast roads
(
speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).Once
the system considers that the behaviour o
f the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
o
r inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
l
evel of alert.
The
driver is then alerted by the message
"Ta
k e c a r e !",
accompanied by an audible
s
ignal.
After
three first level alerts, the system triggers
a
new alert with the message "Take a break! ",
accompanied
by a more pronounced audible
s
ignal. In
certain driving conditions (poor road
s
ur face or strong winds), the system
m
ay give alerts independent of the
d
river's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
w
ith operation of the system or prevent
i
t working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
o
f the roadway, falling snow, heavy
r
ain, dense fog, ...),
- d azzle (headlamps of an oncoming v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on
a
damp road, leaving a tunnel,
a
lternating shade and light, ...),
-

f the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered,
snow-covered, damaged
