Method for determining a property of a driver-vehicle-environment state

摘要

This invention relates to a method for determining a property of a driver-vehicle-environment state including setting a binary detection response value indicative of the presence of an event being demanding for a driver of a vehicle, comprising
- determining the vehicle's present geographic position;
- determining whether the vehicle's present geographic position is within a geographic demanding area, said demanding area being defined to include:
-- a situation area (1) where driving situations requiring a high workload of the driver are likely to appear, and
-- at least one waiting area (2) where the driver is expected to wait before the situation area; and
- setting the detection response value active if the vehicle is positioned in a demanding area.
