Claims
- 1. A method of synthesizing a response to an operating situation of a vehicle; the method comprising the steps of:
generating a master condition list, the master condition list being a fusion of sensor data within the vehicle; determining the existence of an operating situation based on the master condition list; determining a driver cognitive load based upon the master condition list; and determining a response to the operating situation in view of the operator cognitive load and the operating situation.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises vehicle operating data.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises operator activity data.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises environment data.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises operator condition data.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises operator preference data.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises driver action feedback data.
- 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of a problem condition.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of a problem correction.
- 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of a problem exacerbation.
- 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of an operator task requirement.
- 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of an agent task requirement.
- 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of a completion of an operator task.
- 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the existence of an operating situation comprises determining the existence of a completion of an agent task.
- 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining a response to the operating situation comprises synchronizing an information flow to an operator of the vehicle.
- 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining a response to the operating situation comprises generating an alert to the driver.
- 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the alert comprises one of an audio alert, a visual alert and a haptic alert.
- 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining a response to the operating situation comprises terminating operation of selected services within the vehicle.
