Abstract
Disclosed are a computer-implemented method, a system and a computer program product for monitoring driver attention. A traffic event occurring during a driving task of a driver on a road can be monitored. A behavior of the driver in response to the traffic event can be detected. An attention level of the driver can be determined at least based on a match of the detected behavior of the driver with an expected behavior in response to the traffic event. Accordingly, the attention level of the driver can be reliably predicted and the driver distraction can be efficiently prevented, thereby improving the driving safety.
