Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Fatigue
detection system".
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory 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
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level 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
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog, ...),
- d azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, ...),
-

w
indscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,
-

l
ane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks, ...),
-

c
