DAISY, an adaptive, knowledge-based driver monitoring and warning system

This paper presents an intelligent monitoring and warning aid for the driver on German motorways. Haptic warning messages are generated and initiated on the basis of comprehensive system knowledge about the driving situation including the behavioural state and the condition of the driver. The warning messages are adapted to the individual driving style of the person actually driving. Experiments have been conducted with the system in a driving simulator and in a test vehicle with encouraging results in support of the system concept. This development was part of the PROMETHEUS project.
