Abstract
An inattentiveness determination device which determines whether or not a driver of a vehicle is inattentive, includes: a line-of-sight direction detection unit for detecting a line-of-sight direction of the driver; a towing determination unit for determining whether or not a towed vehicle is connected to the vehicle; an inattentiveness determination unit determining whether or not the driver is an inattentive state, based on whether or not a line-of-sight direction of the driver satisfies an inattentiveness determination condition; and a condition setting unit for setting the inattentiveness determination condition so that when the towed vehicle is connected to the vehicle, the inattentiveness determination condition is relaxed as compared with when the towed vehicle is not connected to the vehicle.
