Driver reaction time measurement

摘要

A method and system for measuring driver reaction times is provided. The method includes identifying a driver of a vehicle and determining reaction times associated with a set of driving functions executed by the driver during a first driving process. The driver is determined to be currently driving the vehicle and currently executed driving functions are monitored. Current reaction times associated with the currently executed driving functions are identified and compared to the reaction times. Differences between the current reaction times and the reaction times are determined and logged. The differences indicate that the driver is currently executing a first driving distraction event and in response specified functions associated with the currently executed driving functions and/or the first driving distraction event are executed.

1. A method comprising:
determining, by a computer processor of a computing system, reaction times associated with a set of driving functions executed by a driver of a vehicle, wherein said set of driving functions are executed by said driver during a first driving process of said vehicle; after said determining said reaction times, detecting by said computer processor, said driver in said vehicle; determining, by said computer processor, that said driver is currently driving said vehicle; monitoring, by said computer processor, currently executed driving functions associated with said set of driving functions; identifying, by said computer processor, current reaction times associated with said currently executed driving functions; comparing, by said computer processor, said current reaction times with said reaction times; determining, by said computer processor based on results of said comparing, differences between said current reaction times with said reaction times; logging, by said computer processor, said differences to a driver action log; determining, by said computer processor based on said driver action log, that said driver is currently executing a first driving distraction event; and executing, by said computer processor based on said determining that said driver is currently executing a first driving distraction event, specified functions associated with at least one of said currently executed driving functions and said first driving distraction event.
