Abstract:
A system for providing an indication of a vehicle operators stress reaction to a future change in the environment in which said vehicle is being operated; said system comprising:at least one sensor for sensing a respective at least one physical parameter of said operator; a processing device receiving the outputs of said at least one sensor and providing a training signal; a vehicle positioning system for determining a position of said vehicle and outputting a position signal; at least one vehicle sensor for determining at least one vehicle operation parameter and outputting at least one vehicle parameter signal; a derived environment device having at least one first input receiving respective ones of said at least one vehicle parameter signal and a second input receiving said position signal and providing a vehicle environment output signal; a machine statistical learning module having a first input for receiving said vehicle environmental output signal wherein said machine statistical learning module is controlled by said training signal in order to derive a statistical relationship between a physical condition of said operator and an operational environment of said vehicle.
