Method and system for controlling the behavior of an occupant of a vehicle

摘要

A method of controlling the behavior of an occupant of a vehicle (20) includes sensing an auxiliary mode of the vehicle (20) and comparing a first vehicle operation mode to a predetermined threshold to determine a first incident. The method proceeds by actuating a resistive device (24) in response to the first incident to apply a resistance to an operational input by an occupant of the vehicle (20). The method is characterized by monitoring a precursory auxiliary mode event of the vehicle (20) subsequent to the first incident and prior to a presence of the auxiliary mode, and de-actuating the resistive device (24) in response to the precursory auxiliary mode event to remove the applied resistance.

1. A method of controlling the behavior of an occupant of a vehicle with a resistive device and a control module and sensors to encourage compliance with an auxiliary mode comprising the steps of:
sensing a mobilization of the vehicle, sensing an auxiliary mode of the vehicle in response to the vehicle mobilization to identify an absence of the auxiliary mode, monitoring a first vehicle operation mode of the vehicle, comparing by the control module the first vehicle operation mode to a predetermined first threshold to determine a first incident of the vehicle in response to the first vehicle operation mode exceeding the predetermined first threshold, actuating the resistive device in response to the absence of the auxiliary mode and the first incident to apply a resistance to an operational input of the vehicle, monitoring a precursory auxiliary mode event of the vehicle subsequent to the first incident and prior to a presence of the auxiliary node; and de-actuating the resistive device in response to the precursory auxiliary mode event to remove the applied resistance.
