Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a onboard driver distraction determination system. The determination system includes a onboard sensing and computing system(s), which includes inertial sensor(s), internal sensor(s), and external sensor(s). The onboard system samples data from the sensor(s) during a driving session to determine steering activity metrics and driver behavior. A steering activity metric is a representation of the steering inputs by the driver during the driving session. Driver behavior is a representation of how distracted the driver is during the driving session. By performing the above mentioned steps, the system can provide an analysis of driver distraction and optionally, take control of the vehicle to avoid aberrant behavior.
