Method and Apparatus for Determining Traffic Conditions

摘要

A system includes a vehicle processor configured to detect one or more brake presses. The processor is also configured to detect one or more accelerator presses. Further, the processor is configured to add values related to the brake presses and accelerator presses to aggregate an index value based on detected brake and acceleration presses. The processor is additionally configured to enact a safety and convenience related measure based on the index value passing at least a first predetermined threshold.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a processor configured to: record depressions of a brake pedal and acceleration pedal during a time window; add a first value to an index value for successive depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal; add a second value to the index value for alternative depressions of either the brake or acceleration pedal; determine a traffic-level based on the index value size at an end of the time window.
