DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING A LEVEL OF VIGILANCE IN A DRIVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.

摘要

The invention relates to a device for predicting (10) a vigilance level of a driver, comprising a camera (11) for acquiring images of said driver, an image processing module (13.1) for characterising, from the acquired images, physiological data of said driver, means for storing profiles of the change in electro-encephalographic and physiological data of a set of standard drivers, acquired in a synchronised manner in the course of driving tests during a calibration phase, and a detection module (13.2) capable of comparing the change in physiological data of said driver with the stored profiles of the change in physiological data in order to determine at least one profile satisfying resemblance criteria and performing a statistical prediction of the change in the vigilance level of said driver from the analysis of the stored profile of electro-encephalographic data corresponding to the profile of changes in physiological data having satisfied the resemblance criteria.
