DRIVE May 22, 2024
Source
A driver attention system (34) is configured to determine a drowsiness level of a driver (12) of a vehicle (100) by means of data provided by a monitoring unit (30), the monitoring unit (30) being configured to determine one or more driver parameters, based on the current drowsiness level, determine a current driver focus level and an estimated time of remaining driver focus level, wherein the driver focus level is inversely proportional to the drowsiness level, and determine an estimated remaining travel time until a desired destination is reached by means of data provided by a navigation system (34), wherein if, based on the current driver focus level, the estimated time of remaining focus level, and the estimated remaining travel time, it is determined that a current driver focus level is equal to or higher than a defined threshold focus level, and that the current driver focus level will decrease and fall below the defined threshold focus level during the estimated remaining travel time, a binaural beat at 20Hz or higher is generated via at least two first loudspeakers (20) of an audio system of the vehicle (100), wherein the binaural beat is audible for the driver (12).
