A movable carrier auxiliary system includes a driver state detecting device and a warning device. The driver state detecting device includes a physiological state detecting module, a storage module, and an operation module. The physiological state detecting module is adapted to detect a physiological state of a driver. The storage module is disposed in a movable carrier and stores an allowable parameter corresponding to the at least one physiological state. The operation module is disposed in the movable carrier and is electrically connected to the physiological state detecting module and the storage module to detect whether the at least one physiological state of the driver exceeds the allowable parameter or not, and to correspondingly generate a detection signal. The warning device generate a warning message when the detection signal that the at least one physiological state of the driver exceeds the allowable parameter is received.

An information presentation device, mounted on a vehicle for which automatic evacuation control functions when it is difficult for a driver to continue driving the vehicle, and presenting information to an occupant of the vehicle except the driver by a display in a display area that is visually recognizable by the occupant, includes: an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the automatic evacuation control; and a display generation unit that generates an occupant notification display that is displayed in the display area to notify information relating to the automatic evacuation control when the automatic evacuation control is in operation. The occupant notification display includes: an explanatory image that shows an explanation of a process executed currently; and a progress image that indicates a degree of progress in the automatic evacuation control.

A technique is directed to methods and systems for detecting the presence of a machine operator. In some implementations, an operator presence system monitors a machine to determine whether an operator is present in an operating machine. The operator presence system collects input data from sensors or devices on the machine and determines whether the operator is in the operator seat. During operation, if an operator is determined to not be in the operator seat, the operator presence system can generate and send notifications (e.g., visual or audible warnings) to alert the operator to sit in the operator seat.

A driving assistance device 1 is provided with: three or more detection units 5a to 5d which are configured to detect a likely-to-be-dozing state in which likelihood that a driver of a vehicle is dozing is high by different indices and at prescribed intervals; a state determination unit 34 which determines that the driver is in a dozing state when the likely-to-be-dozing state is detected by at least two of the detection units; and a warning control unit 36 which causes a warning device 6 to issue a warning when the state determination unit 34 determines that the driver is in the dozing state.

The described systems and methods determine a driver's fitness to safely operate a moving vehicle based at least in part upon observed UVB exposure patterns, where the driver's UVB exposure levels may serve as a proxy for vitamin D levels in that driver's body. A smart ring, wearable on a user's finger, continuously monitors user's exposure to UVB light. This UVB exposure data, representing UVB exposure patterns, can be utilized, in combination with driving data, to train a machine learning model, which will predict the user's level of risk exposure based at least in part upon observed UVB exposure patterns. The user can be warned of this risk to prevent them from driving or to encourage them to get more sunlight exposure before driving. In some instances, the disclosed smart ring system may interact with the user's vehicle to prevent it from starting while exposed to high risk due to deteriorated psychological or physiological conditions stemming from insufficient UVB exposure.

The described systems and methods determine a driver's fitness to safely operate a moving vehicle based at least in part upon observed impairment patterns. A smart ring, wearable on a user's finger, continuously monitors impairment levels. This impairment data, representing impairment patterns, can be utilized, in combination with driving data, to train a machine learning model, which will predict the user's level of risk exposure based at least in part upon observed impairment patterns. The user can be warned of this risk to prevent them from driving or to encourage them to delay driving. In some instances, the disclosed smart ring system may interact with the user's vehicle to prevent it from starting while the user is in a state of impairment induced by substance intoxication.

A determination unit that determines whether a driver of a vehicle is dozing or looking away based on a state of the driver, a smart contact lens worn on an eyeball of the driver, and a display control unit that causes the smart contact lens to display a warning when the determination unit determines that the driver is dozing or looking away are provided.

A method is disclosed for driving an emergency reaction system within a moving motor vehicle carrying at least one vehicle occupant. The method includes monitoring health conditions of the vehicle occupant. The method also includes determining whether the health conditions are below a critical threshold and, if so, continuing to monitor the health conditions of the vehicle occupant. If the health conditions exceed the critical threshold, an emergency alert is issued without waiting for the motor vehicle to stop, and an autonomous safe stop maneuver is performed if the motor vehicle is moving autonomously or includes an autonomous driving system and is allowed to operate automatically.

A driver assistance system for vehicles, which is capable of preventing driver carelessness from causing a vehicle accident when a vehicle stops while traveling, includes a vehicle sensor unit configured to detect driver state data, a driver assistance unit operated to assist a driver when driver carelessness about vehicle driving is detected when a vehicle stops while traveling, and a control unit configured to identify whether the driver is careless based on the driver state data when the vehicle stops while traveling, and to operate the driver assistance unit when the driver carelessness is detected, preventing the vehicle from driving.

A wearable device includes a communicator for performing a communication with a vehicle, a detector for detecting a user's biological information, and a controller for performing a power save mode when vehicle speed information is received via the communicator, for converting the power save mode into a normal mode when first determination information of drowsy driving is received via the communicator during the power save mode, and for secondly determining whether current driving is a drowsy driving based on the detected biological information during the normal mode.
