The systems will be based on cameras that can track eye movements, and, for instance, work out which direction a driver might be looking at a time when other sensors indicate a potential incident looming.
They might also be able to monitor whether a driver is getting sleepy, or generally more inattentive as a journey progresses, and provide them with warnings.
The research is being carried out in conjunction with the Switzerland based École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. The French carmaker provided a prototyping platform to the project, to evaluate where best a monitoring camera might be placed.
