Abstract
A computer-implemented method for dynamic vehicle control affecting sleep states of vehicle occupants includes connecting a wearable computing device associated with a vehicle occupant to a vehicle, and determining a state of the vehicle occupant based on physiological data received from at least one of the wearable computing device and the vehicle. The method includes determining a target sleep state of the vehicle occupant based on at least one of the state of the vehicle occupant, the physiological data and vehicle system data, and controlling a vehicle system of the vehicle based on the state of the vehicle occupant in relation to the target sleep state. The method includes monitoring the state of the vehicle occupant including monitoring the physiological data of the vehicle occupant in response to controlling the vehicle system and controlling the vehicle system according to the monitoring in relation to the target sleep state.
