What is the Principle of Audi's Fatigue Driving Reminder?
2 Answers
The fatigue driving monitoring system is a set of vehicle fatigue driving solutions based on advanced image intelligent recognition and analysis technology, which detects the driver's head movement, eyelid movement, eye closure frequency, gaze direction, yawning frequency and other facial information in real time, and carries out monitoring and data analysis. Extended content, the introduction of fatigue driving reminder is as follows: 1. The fatigue monitoring system commonly equipped in the fatigue driving prompt system is called the 'fatigue driving prompt system'. It is based on the driver's physiological image response and consists of two major modules, ECU and camera. It uses the driver's facial features, eye signals, head movement, etc. to infer the driver's fatigue state, and gives an alarm prompt and takes corresponding measures. It provides active and intelligent safety protection for drivers and passengers. 2. Driver Safety Warning System In addition, some fatigue monitoring systems are called 'driver safety warning systems'. This system is activated when the vehicle enters a straight and flat road that easily makes the driver enter a relaxed state, an environment that easily makes the driver distracted and doze off, and when the speed exceeds 65 km/h. The driver safety warning system consists of a camera, several sensors and a control unit. 3. Fatigue Recognition System Introduction Other fatigue monitoring systems equipped in cars are called fatigue recognition systems (which record the driver's operation behavior from the beginning of driving) and can judge the driver's fatigue level by identifying changes in driving operations during long-distance travel. 4. Attention Assist System Introduction Some other cars are equipped with fatigue monitoring systems called 'attention assist systems'. This system continuously detects the driver's driving style. There are 71 sensors on the vehicle that detect the steering wheel and pedal sensors of longitudinal and lateral acceleration in the speed range of 80-180 km/h. The system can sense that the driver is driving tiredly and then prompt that it is appropriate to take a rest.
Last time I was driving my Audi on a long trip when the system suddenly flashed a coffee cup icon – it really gave me a scare. This fatigue warning system is actually quite clever, using several little tricks to guess if you're drowsy. The car's sensors are constantly monitoring steering wheel movements; if I start weaving left and right like a snake or pressing the accelerator erratically, the system thinks I might be dozing off. Plus, it keeps track of time – after two hours of driving, it nags me to take a break, while also checking for sudden speed drops which could indicate trouble. The algorithm behind it pieces together all these fragmented data points, and at the first sign of trouble, it beeps or flashes warnings – just like my wife watching over me saying 'don't push yourself.' Basically, it's all about preventing you from nodding off at the wheel and causing a major accident – high-tech babysitting, you might say.
