PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the accuracy of detecting a passenger state by suppressing the influence of a body motion of a passenger when performing an operation.SOLUTION: A detection apparatus includes: a heart rate sensor 12 for detecting a heart rate of a passenger an operation detection part 22 for detecting the passenger operating equipment disposed in a vehicle a calculation process part 18 for calculating a heart rate fluctuation value of the passenger on the basis of the detection result of the heart rate sensor 12, and, in a case where the operation detection part 22 detects the passenger operating equipment, calculating a heart rate fluctuation value produced by eliminating, as an abnormal value, a heart rate fluctuation value corresponding to a period of time where the passenger operating the equipment.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】乗員の操作時の体動による影響を抑制して乗員状態の検出精度を向上することを目的とする。【解決手段】乗員の心拍数を検出する心拍センサ12と、車両に設けられた機器への乗員の操作を検知する操作検知部22と、心拍センサ12の検出結果に基づいて乗員の心拍ゆらぎ値を計算し、操作検知部22によって機器への乗員の操作が検知された場合には、機器への乗員の操作を行った時間に対応する心拍ゆらぎ値を異常値として除外した心拍ゆらぎ値を計算する計算処理部18と、を備える。【選択図】図1
