DRIVER INTOXICATION TEST SYSTEM AND METHOD
A driver intoxication test system is provided for a vehicle including: a quick intoxication pre-test subsystem for quickly determining whether there is reason to suspect the driver may be intoxicated; an intoxication validation test subsystem for determining whether the driver is intoxicated; and a controller is configured to determine whether the quick intoxication pre-test subsystem has detected a reason to suspect the driver may be intoxicated. When a reason to suspect the driver may be intoxicated has been detected, an intoxication validation test is conducted and it is determined whether the driver has passed the intoxication validation test. When a reason to suspect the driver may be intoxicated has not been detected, the controller does not instruct the intoxication validation test subsystem to conduct an intoxication validation test.
Method for predicting arousal level and arousal level prediction apparatus
An arousal level prediction apparatus and method are disclosed. The arousal level prediction apparatus obtains first biological information indicating current biological information of the user, obtains first environment information indicating a current environment around the user, and obtains living information of the user indicating an activity history of the user. The arousal level predication apparatus includes a process that calculates a first arousal level indicating a current arousal level of the user based on the first biological information, predicts a second arousal level, which is an arousal level of the user at a certain period of time later, based on the first arousal level, the first environment information and the living information, and outputs the second arousal level.
Testing method and testing system for human stress reaction, and computer-readable storage medium
The present disclosure relates to a testing method and a testing system for a human stress reaction, and a computer-readable storage medium. The testing method for the human stress reaction includes acquiring position information and visual field information of a testee in a virtual road traffic scene after the virtual road traffic scene is established; guiding the testee into a test zone when the testee is within a test-waiting zone and when a visual field direction of the testee faces the test zone, and simultaneously, starting acquiring stress reaction data of the testee; controlling a virtual reality environment module to create a virtual stress event in the test zone after it is determined that the testee is within the test zone, and applying a stimulation to the testee, such that the testee make a stress reaction.
EXPERT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS OF VEHICLE OR USER EXPERIENCE PARAMETERS
A system for transportation includes a vehicle configured to have a rider located therein or thereon, and an expert system to produce a recommendation for a configuration of the vehicle, wherein the recommendation includes at least one recommended parameter of configuration for the expert system that controls a parameter selected from the group consisting of a vehicle parameter, a rider experience parameter, and combinations thereof.
PARAMETERS OF AUGMENTED REALITY RESPONSIVE TO LOCATION OR ORIENTATION BASED ON RIDER OR VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a display disposed to facilitate presenting an augmentation of content in an environment of a rider of the vehicle; a circuit for registering at least one of location and orientation of the vehicle; a machine learning circuit that determines at least one augmentation parameter by processing at least one input relating to at least one of the rider and the vehicle; and a reality augmentation circuit that, responsive to the at least one of the location or the orientation of the vehicle, generates an augmentation element for presenting in the display, the generating based at least in part on the at least one augmentation parameter.
Augmented reality for motorcycle helmet responsive to location or orientation of the motorcycle
A motorcycle helmet includes a data processor configured to facilitate communication between a rider wearing the helmet and a motorcycle, the motorcycle and the helmet communicating location and orientation of the motorcycle. An augmented reality system with a display is disposed to facilitate presenting an augmentation of content in an environment of a rider wearing the helmet, the augmentation responsive to a registration of the communicated location and orientation of the motorcycle At least one parameter of the augmentation is determined by machine learning on at least one input relating to at least one of the rider and the motorcycle.
Reducing pathogen transmission in autonomous vehicle fleet
An autonomous vehicle (AV) implements a health protocol that may reduce pathogen transmission between users of the AV. The AV is equipped with a thermal sensor that captures a body temperature of a user. The AV compares the user's temperature to a threshold temperature, and if the user's temperature exceeds the threshold temperature, the AV performs checks to ensure that the user's planned trip follows current regulations or recommendations. For example, the AV confirms that the user is traveling between the user's home and a healthcare facility. If the trip is permitted, the AV enables the user to enter the AV. The AV may include a disinfectant system for disinfecting the passenger compartment or surfaces after the user exits the AV.
ATTENTION ABILITY TEST DEVICE, ATTENTION ABILITY TEST METHOD, AND VEHICLE
An attention ability test device includes a display having a display area, an input device for receiving an operation performed by an examinee, and a test controller. While displaying a central image in the central area of the display area and displaying one or more peripheral images in the peripheral area of the display area, the test controller generates at random at least one of a center task of changing the central image and a periphery task of changing the peripheral image, and measures, as a reaction time, the period of time from generation of the center task or the periphery task to execution of a predetermined operation performed by the examinee having recognized the generation, and evaluates the attention ability of the examinee, based on the reaction time.
WEARABLE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING INTOXICATION
A system for transdermal alcohol sensing to be worn near a skin surface of a user, including: an alcohol sensor; a microporous membrane; a housing coupled to the alcohol sensor and the membrane, defining a volume between the alcohol sensor and a first membrane side, and fluidly isolating the volume from a second membrane side opposing the first membrane side; an electronics subsystem electrically coupled to the alcohol sensor, operable to power and receive signals from the alcohol sensor; and a fastener operable to position the second membrane side proximal the skin surface.
ENERGY CONVERSION MONITORING DEVICES AND METHODS
Persons with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) may, or may not, recognize that they have symptoms of SDB, and/or that they may be at-risk of, or suffering certain health problems associated with SDB, including death. The disclosed Energy Conversion Monitor (ECM) sensor, when embodied, for example, in a wearable upper-armband format, has been demonstrated to be more sensitive and responsive than pulse oximetry monitoring of blood oxygen saturation as an indication of hypoxic stress induced by SDB, and is compatible with: (1) inclusion in sleep laboratory polysomnograph (PSG) testing instrumentation, (2) home-based diagnostic testing for SDB, (3) control of home-use airway therapy devices, (4) continuous remote surveillance and refinement of airway therapy, and (5) spot-check and continuous surveillance of sleep quality in the general population. The disclosed ECM also provides new measurements of physiologic stress during and following exercise. When applied during initial care of premature newborn infants, it offers improved therapeutic guidance during their transition from their limited in utero oxygen supply conditions, to the increased oxygen availability from breathing air. When applied during resuscitation of persons suffering from hypoxia and during reperfusion of ischemic tissue, such as during treatment of ischemic stroke, or ischemic heart attack, the ECM sensor can provide objective guidance regarding the safe and effective resupply of oxygen to the hypoxia-adapted tissue to help reduce or prevent microvascular occlusion and cellular injury. As a continuously worn physiologic surveillance monitor, the ECM offers the potential of early detection of sepsis. With the elderly and infirm, it offers a convenient and comfortable means of continuously assessing variations in status while awake and asleep.
