METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS OF AN OPERATOR IN AN AIRCRAFT ****PIT
A method and system for monitoring a state of consciousness of an operator in an aircraft ****pit includes at least one image acquisition module for acquiring images of the operator, a detection module for detecting movements of the body of the operator from the images, a determination module for determining a movement feature of the body of the operator during at least one time proportion of a predetermined time window, a transmission module for transmitting a signal representative of a state of loss of consciousness of the operator to a user device. The transmission module is implemented if the movement feature meets a predetermined condition. The state of consciousness of the operator is thus monitored automatically in order to supplement the monitoring by the flight crew members.

EFFICIENT AUTONOMOUS TRUCKS
The technology relates to enhancing the operation of autonomous vehicles. Extendible sensors (504) are deployed based on detected or predicted conditions around a vehicle while operating in a self-driving mode. When not needed, the sensors are fully retracted into the vehicle to reduce drag and increase fuel economy. When the onboard system determines that there is a need for a deployable sensor (1102), such as to enhance the field of view of the perception system, the sensor is extended in a predetermined manner (1106). The deployment may depend on one or more operating conditions and/or particular driving scenarios (1104). These and other sensors of the vehicle may be protected with a rugged housing, for instance to protect against damage from the elements (1204). And in other situations, deployable foils may extend from the vehicle's chassis to increase drag and enhance braking (1308). This may be helpful for large trucks in steep descent situations.

SADDLE-RIDE VEHICLE WITH AUTONOMOUS BRAKING AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME
As shown in FIG. 2, the rider sensor system of the motorcycle 10 includes at least one rider cognition sensor 76 operable to detect at least one parameter corresponding to a state of cognitive engagement of the rider and providing a signal indicative of the same to the controller 64. The rider cognition sensor 76 can be a camera operable with the controller 64 to perform facial recognition and interpretation, and/or identifying and tracking the rider's eyes. Thus, the rider cognition sensor 76 can collect data indicative of where the rider is looking and/or whether the rider's eyes are open and looking up at the forward travel path. The rider cognition sensor 76 is shown as a rider-facing sensor positioned in an instrument panel 80 of the motorcycle 10. In other constructions, more than one rider cognition sensor 76 is provided at one or more locations, which may not be limited to the instrument panel 80. In some constructions, a helmet-based rider cognition sensor 84 can be provided in or on a helmet worn on the rider's head. The helmet-based rider cognition sensor 84 can be inconspicuous and operable to look at the face and/or eyes of the rider to operate similar to the rider cognition sensor 76 discussed above. The helmet-based rider cognition sensor 84 can communicate wirelessly with the controller 64, or a wired connection can be provided between the helmet and the motorcycle 10. In addition, one or more of the forward travel sensor(s) 68 may operate as a rider cognition sensor by collecting data about the rider's performance in relation to maintaining a consistent position within a traffic lane. In addition, the controller 64 may consult speed data from the wheel speed sensor 60 (or on-board GPS sensor) to provide data on rider cognition by way of the rider's ability to maintain a constant speed while cruising. Thus, the controller 64 can have a relatively complex rider cognition module that includes a plurality of inputs to execute an algorithm to ultimately make a pass/fail determination on whether the rider is cognitively engaged sufficiently to cope with an autonomous braking event in the event that the controller 64 identifies an autonomous braking event trigger (e.g., from the forward travel sensor(s) 68 that a collision is imminent).

INWARD/OUTWARD VEHICLE MONITORING FOR REMOTE REPORTING AND IN-CAB WARNING ENHANCEMENTS
Systems and methods are provided for intelligent driving monitoring systems, advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems, and providing alerts to the driver of a vehicle, based on anomalies detected between driver behavior and environment captured by the outward facing camera. Various aspects of the driver, which may include his direction of sight, point of focus, posture, gaze, is determined by image processing of the upper visible body of the driver, by a driver facing camera in the vehicle. Other aspects of environment around the vehicle captured by the multitude of cameras in the vehicle are used to correlate driver behavior and actions with what is happening outside to detect and warn on anomalies, prevent accidents, provide feedback to the driver, and in general provide a safer driver experience.

DISTRACTEDNESS SENSING SYSTEM
A distraction detection system includes using a first signal, e.g., EDP signals or vehicle speed, and an additional signal to determine whether a person is distracted. The distraction system can be part of a vehicle seating system, A vehicle seating system is described and includes a seat configured to support an occupant and to be mounted in a vehicle and occupant sensing system at least partially integrated into the seat to sense an occupant. The sensing system senses a first criterion with respect to the occupant. A controller is configured to receive the first criterion signal from the sensing system and a second criterion to determine a distraction state of the driver. The controller can also determine a false distraction state using the distraction state and other criterion in a vehicle. The controller outputs a control signal when the distraction state exceeds a distraction threshold and when distraction is confirmed.

[0036] This system can also include cameras strategically positioned to look at the driver. Inward cameras can be used in conjunction with the seat sensors to achieve sensor fusion and increase specificity and accuracy of the distraction level detection. The camera generates multiple images of the occupant, which can be analyzed to determine additional occupant metrics. The metrics can include head position, a blink rate, pupil dilation, eye position, fixation, gaze patterns, eyelid closure, head movement facial expression, overall skeletal position, and the like. The camera system takes an image and image processing circuitry analyzes the image to determine the image metric.

[0037] The use of various metrics from different sources provides an objective quantification of distraction of the occupant. The distraction quantification can be combined with other data in the vehicle to prevent false indications of distraction, e.g., vehicle performance, driving environment, and the like. If the distraction quantification level exceeds a distraction threshold, then the vehicle may automatically trigger countermeasures, e.g., alerts, alarms, collision avoidance, and the like. If the distraction status of the driver is quantified, the vehicle can change reaction times of the collision avoidance system, e.g., the adaptive braking system, to optimize the response of the system itself in view of the driver condition as at least partly determined by the distraction level.
