Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning   system"   may   be   combined   with   the  
"

Fatigue   detection   system".
Using
  a   camera   placed   at   the   top   of   the  
w

indscreen,   the   system   assesses   the   driver's  
l

evel   of   vigilance   by   identifying   variations   in  
t

rajectory   compared   to   the   lane   markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed
  higher   than   40   mph   (65   km/h)).Once the system considers that the behaviour
of
  the   vehicle   suggests   a   certain   level   of   fatigue  
o

r   inattention   by   the   driver,   it   triggers   the   first  
l

evel   of   alert.
The
  driver   is   then   alerted   by   the   message  
"Ta

k e c a r e !", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After
  three   first   level   alerts,   the   system   triggers  
a

  new   alert   with   the   message   "Take a break! ",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In
  certain   driving   conditions   (poor   road  
s

ur face   or   strong   winds),   the   system  
m

ay   give   alerts   independent   of   the  
d

river's   level   of   vigilance.
The   following   situations   may   inter fere  
w

ith operation of the system or prevent
it   working:
-  
p
oor   visibility   (inadequate   lighting  
o

f   the   roadway,   falling   snow,   heavy  
r

ain,   dense   fog,   ...),
-  d azzle   (headlamps   of   an   oncoming  v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on
a
  damp   road,   leaving   a   tunnel,  
a

lternating   shade   and   light,   ...),
-

w
indscreen area located in front
of
  the   camera:   dirty,   misted,   frost-
covered,
  snow-covered,   damaged  
o

r   covered   by   a   sticker,
-
 
l
ane   markings   absent,   worn,  
m

asked   (snow,   mud)   or   multiple  
(

roadworks,
 ...
),
-

c

  not   detected),
