PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To precisely estimate the responding condition to a surrounding environment of a driver.SOLUTION: The correlation between the change of a driving scene in the surrounding environment of drivers own vehicle and the change of a living body of the driver are taken, the influence of the change of the living body of the driver not based on the surrounding environment of drivers own car can be suppressed because the driving responding condition of the driver is estimated from the correlation. Accordingly, the responding condition of the driver to the surrounding environment can be precisely estimated.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】運転者の周囲環境への適応状態を精度良く推定すること。【解決手段】自車両の周囲環境における運転シーンの変化と、運転者の生体における変化との相関を取り、その相関に基づいて、運転者の運転適応状態を推定するため、自車両の周囲環境に基づかない運転者の生体変化の影響を抑制することができる。したがって、運転者の周囲環境への適応状態を精度良く推定することができる。【選択図】図1
