Abstract
A system for determining distress of a driver of a vehicle is provided, comprising a plurality of sensors, including interior vehicle image sensors, an interior vehicle audio sensor, vehicle data sensors, and Global Positioning System (GPS) data sensors. The system also includes one or more processors configured to receive inputs from the plurality of sensors, and process the received inputs to obtain a driver heat change estimate, a driver expression estimate, a driver gesture estimate, an on-board diagnostics (OBD) estimate, and a GPS estimate. The one or more processors are further configured to store the estimates in a memory, use the stored estimates to generate deviation scores for each of the estimates, execute a machine learning algorithm to classify driver behavior as normal or impaired based on the deviation scores, and generate a warning based on the classification indicating impaired driver behavior.
