A possibility to ensure the controllability of the ADF is to use a driver monitoring system that detects distraction or drowsiness of a driver during automated mode, as well as the availability of a driver to respond to a transition demand (UNECE, 2021a). This monitoring system could also invoke action to remind and maintain the driver’s attention in both manual and automated driving. An appropriate Driver Monitoring System (DMS) can help the ADF to make better decisions to improve comfort and safety. In particular, it can ensure the controllability of the intended function of the vehicle by the driver. For more information related to driver monitoring, please see also the HVI category.
Main Question
Does the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) of the ADF (where relevant) monitor the driver in order to ensure her / his controllability in the event of a takeover request?
