The Fatigue Alert system can detect when the driver is less alert using various criteria. The Fatigue Alert break recommendation function can detect driver fatigue, e.g., during long, monotonous trips. This function recommends taking a break as necessary. A notice is also displayed on the Interaction Unit.
After starting a journey, the break recommendation function is trained to the driver, enabling it to detect decreasing alertness or fatigue. This process takes the following criteria into account:
– Personal driving style, e.g., steering behavior.
– Driving conditions, e.g., the time or duration of the drive.
This function activates at speeds greater than approx. 43 mph/70 km/h and can also display a break recommendation.
