An apparatus for determining a concentration of a driver includes: a region-of-interest definition processor configured to define a region-of-interest based on traffic-related information on front image information of a vehicle running; a driver eye-gaze detection processor configured to detect a plurality of eye-gaze points from driver image information of a driver in accordance with an eye-gaze movement of the driver; a driver concentration information calculation processor configured to calculate concentration information of each of the eye-gaze points; an image coordinate system processor configured to convert the region-of-interest to an image coordinate system and convert positions of the eye-gaze points to the image coordinate system; and a concentration determination processor configured to determine a concentration of the driver on the image coordinate system based on the concentration information.

Apparatus for determining concentration of driver, system having the same, and method thereof

An apparatus and a method for controlling autonomous driving of a vehicle, and a vehicle system are provided. The apparatus monitors a stress state of a driver using biometric information of the driver and calculates an allowable jerk of the driver based on a jerk at a time point at which the stress state of the driver exceeds a preset reference value. A predicted jerk is calculated based on location and movement information of the vehicle and a preceding vehicle measured while the vehicle travels, and lane information. Additionally, a driving state of the vehicle is determined when the predicted jerk exceeds an allowable jerk of the driver and an alarm is output based on the driving state of the vehicle.

An apparatus for manipulating in-vehicle devices using a steering wheel includes a reference signal input unit for inputting a reference signal to a driver through a charged plate, a touch sensor for receiving the reference signal through human body communication and for detecting a touch of the driver, and a controller for generating a control signal on the basis of the results detected by the touch sensor.

Apparatus and method for manipulating in-vehicle devices using steering wheel

A system for determining a state of a driver includes a face tracking device configured to detect coordinates and a direction vector of a face at intervals of a sampling time from a face image of the driver, an event detecting device configured to detect valid behavior of a vehicle as an event, and a determination device configured to determine an impaired state of the driver based on a reflex response time of the driver when the event is detected by the event detecting device.

System and method for determining state of driver

An apparatus and method for determining driver distraction based on a jerk and a vehicle system are provided. The apparatus includes: a jerk calculating processor to calculate a lateral jerk of a vehicle based on driving information collected when the vehicle is traveling, an exception event detecting processor to detect an exception event defining a situation where the lateral jerk occurs during normal driving based on the collected driving information, and a determining processor to detect oversteering of the vehicle by comparing the calculated lateral jerk with a reference value and determine a driver distraction based on the detected oversteering and exception event.
