76657 - The Vehicle That Uses Human Interface Engineering 

This proposal is based on Human interface and action monitoring where machine shall judge the operator behavior, sound an alarm and take a decision to terminate the operation. There are high numbers of accidents reported due to road razing, driver dozing off and drunk driving.

There is no major change proposed in automobile design, but the vehicle shall use multiple of electromechanical load sensors on steering wheel, axles and brake and gas pedals.

 

In addition, the smart system shall utilize face recognition    system & beckons and security questions for protection from theft and from an owner who is quite intoxicated.

 

The strain gage / load sensors embedded in steering wheel shall sense the behavioral change in case of road rage - anger , fatigue / drunk driving. The change in steering wheel grip captures the physical condition of fatigued and tired driver or if he is starting to doze off.

The pressure / force applied in brake pedal and gas pedal at certain time frame can implicitly advise on driver’s condition . Even a force sensor installed at drivers window panel can sense the method of closing the driver side door when the driver is getting into driver seat .

The human interface response to machine becomes subtly changed in case of high emotions and intoxication and force and grips are changed. Vehicle maneuvers become sharper and reckless which are proposed to capture and controlled by using force and strain type displacement sensors.

In case of incidents of sharp turns and sudden changes from certain speed bands, the installed strain sensors and outputs thereof shall command the fuel                      injection system to lower down the speed of car.

The sensors shall self-program the fuel injection module of the car after monitoring the psychological health and then set a bar on vehicle speed.

 

The face recognition algorithms shall identify the driver as start permissive to prevent car theft . In case if driver is drunk, he cannot answer certain percentage of security questions and then the car shall select what shall be - maximum speed of car or whether to provide a permissive to start the car in certain cases. Breathing apparatus can be fooled as someone can proxy on it but with face recognition and security questions a person cannot fool the system from theft and drunk driving.

In addition, a red flash shall beep, warning other drivers to avoid accidents for few mnutes .If driver actions are monitored as sobered up beeping shall not be repeated..
