SITUATION AWARENESS SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A situation awareness method can be used to provide information to a vehicle operator via first, second, and third substantially transparent ambient displays that are coupled to a windshield of a vehicle. The situation awareness method includes the following steps: (a) monitoring a physiological state of the vehicle operator; (b) monitoring a vehicle operating parameter of the vehicle; (c) monitoring a vehicle context data; (d) identifying a predetermined physiological condition based on the monitored physiological state of the vehicle operator; (e) identifying a predetermined vehicle operating condition based on the monitored vehicle operating parameter; (f) identifying a predetermined vehicle context condition based on the monitored vehicle context data; (g) adjusting a luminance of the first, second, and third substantially transparent ambient displays based on the identified predetermined physiological condition, the identified predetermined vehicle operating condition; and the identified predetermined vehicle context condition, respectively.

1. A situation awareness method of providing information to a vehicle operator, the method comprising:
monitoring a physiological state of the vehicle operator; monitoring a vehicle operating parameter of the vehicle; monitoring a vehicle context data; identifying a predetermined physiological condition based on the monitored physiological state of the vehicle operator; identifying a predetermined vehicle operating condition based on the monitored vehicle operating parameter; identifying a predetermined vehicle context condition based on the monitored vehicle context data; adjusting a luminance of a first substantially transparent ambient display based on the identified predetermined physiological condition; adjusting a luminance of a second substantially transparent ambient display based on the identified predetermined vehicle operating condition; and adjusting a luminance of a third substantially transparent ambient display based on the identified predetermined vehicle context condition.
