Abstract
In a method and a computer program for identification when the driver of a vehicle is inattentive, a steering action following a steering quiescent phase is observed, in addition to the steering quiescent phase itself. The extent of the steering quiescent phase and of the steering action found are logically linked to one another, and the result of this logical operation is then used as a measure for the severity of the inattentiveness of the driver.
