Abstract
A method for distracted driver detection and alert includes receiving vehicle speed data from one or more wheel speed sensors disposed on the vehicle and receiving proximity data from one or more proximity sensors disposed on the vehicle, the proximity data indicating a distance of the vehicle relative to any objects in front of the vehicle. The method also includes executing a distracted driver detection algorithm that uses the vehicle speed data and the proximity data to determine the vehicle is disrupting a flow of stop and go traffic and a driver of the vehicle is distracted from operating the vehicle. The method includes, based on determining that both the vehicle is disrupting the flow of stop and go traffic and the driver of the vehicle is distracted, instructing a system of the vehicle to output an alert to reengage the driver.
