Driving condition-monitoring apparatus for automotive vehicles

摘要

A driving condition-monitoring apparatus for an automotive vehicle monitors a driving condition of a driver of the automotive vehicle. At least one of behavior of the vehicle, a driving operation of the driver, and at least one condition of the driver is detected to thereby generate driving condition-indicative data indicative of the driving condition of the driver. It is determined whether the driving condition of the driver is abnormal, based on the driving condition-indicative data generated. When it is not determined that the driving condition of the driver is abnormal, a degree of normality of the driving condition of the driver is determined by inputting a plurality of pieces of the driving condition-indicative data to a neural network. At least one of warning and control of the vehicle is carried out depending on a result of the determination as to whether the driving condition of the driver is abnormal and the degree of normality of the driving condition of the driver.
