Abstract

An operating ability monitoring system that includes a person-dependent acceleration sensor, a telemetry unit, and an evaluation unit, wherein the person-dependent acceleration sensor and the telemetry unit may be worn by and/or implanted in a machine operator and connected to the evaluation unit, and wherein the evaluation unit is configured to receive acceleration values originating from the person-dependent acceleration sensor and sensor values originating from a further sensor that reflects the movements and/or acceleration of a vehicle or moving machine and to evaluate them by comparing the acceleration values from the person-dependent acceleration sensor to the sensor values associated with the vehicle or moving machine.
