Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 8:
9. A system for improving driver situation awareness prediction using human visual sensory and memory mechanism comprising:
a memory storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
receive data associated with a driving scene of a vehicle and an eye gaze of a driver of the vehicle;
analyze the data to determine gaze point values that are associated with a foveal and peripheral eye gaze of the driver and extract features associated with objects located within the driving scene;
determine a situational awareness score that is associated with a situational awareness of the driver with respect to each of the objects located within the driving scene, wherein the situational awareness score is based on a duration and proximity of the eye gaze with respect to each of the objects; and
communicate control signals to electronically control at least one system of the vehicle based on the situational awareness score that is associated with each of the objects located within the driving scene,
wherein determining the situational awareness score includes analyzing a short-term memory of the driver as an indicator of the situational awareness with respect to each object, wherein the short-term memory is associated with a memory of salient objects versus non-salient objects within the driving scene and a memory score is calculated for each object.
