    Driver condition monitoring

    Hi all,

    Please educate me in how this system works as JLRs info is scant as usual. I assume it is simply a lack of steering input over time, travelling at x speed? Perhaps input from the lane assist?

    I had thought (for no reason I can remember) that this system was camera based, located in the base of the rear mirror and monitored eye movement but there's no mention of this in the manual even though there is an aperture in this location. Maybe this is the phone mic?

    During 4.5 hour highway drive yesterday in my MY18 SD4 HSE the driver condition monitoring alert activated for the first time ever. 15 minutes later a second amber alert came up which I ok'd but after that, nothing.

    I'd been driving from Bundy to Brisbane and was probably 2.5 hours into the trip. I didn't feel fatigued and as always on the highway, I had the adaptive cruise engaged, music on and was just cruising down the highway and on the lookout for the usual idiots on the road around me.



    Cheers,

    Mark

    I'm with you. Son's Ford Everest Titanium has a similar setup. I borrowed his car when my 2.7L threw a hissy fit, and the system initially drove me mad in the 450 km/5 hour hop from Perth to Geraldton, which I normally do straight through unless the prostate protests!

    The robots are telling us that we are no longer capable of coping without them. Pretty soon the robot doing the monitoring will be telling the robot doing the driving what it's doing wrong, and we will no longer have any say in the matter. Screw that. I hope to be dribbling into my gruel before that happens.
    Drove a Volvo FH prime mover to Adelaide. It took me to Ballarat to shut the nagging up. You can keep it.

    Driver condition monitoring

    Robots saved several of my operators lives.
    Night shifts can be deadly.

    And just because you haven’t had a problem - doesn’t mean that nag isn’t noticing you being less than attentive to the task!

    So can long nights behind the wheel. But the robot that can deal with the parameters of Australian roads and highways has yet to be imagined. That Volvo was a bloody distraction, and I believe instilled a false sense of security to those who hadn't seen what the roads can do.

    Sure, if the task is repetitive and could be performed by said robot. And I believe it could on a mine site. Watch your back, Mike.
    But there is still no robot made that can drive me from Melbourne to Townsville safely, taking into account all of the variables possible. I suspect that I'll be long dead before such a thing is achieved. I hope so, because when that happens there will be no point in being alive, unless you believe in Star Trek.

    The robots don’t drive. The robots are the driver monitoring system.

    Makes sure dopey wheel attendants don’t fall asleep, suffer fatigue related incidents, and keep their focus where it should be - the road.

    Not knowing exactly how the system in the D5 works…

    I can reference to works Ford Ranger - it monitors the lane markings, and if it sees “drift” between the lines back and forth it displays a warning.

    You need to maintain hands on wheel (detects pressure/resistance) and uses cameras to ascertain position in lane.

    This vid from LRUSA shows similar and explains the 2 warnings.

    Thanks for the link. I had seen this vid but in typical JLR fashion she explains the what and why but not the how.
