ABSTRACT:
System and method for determining a workload level for a driver of a vehicle. The system includes a transceiver, a positioning unit, and a controller. The transceiver is capable of receiving data from a remote location. The data includes a remote workload level and a remote geographic position associated with the remote workload level. The positioning unit is capable of determining a current position of the vehicle. The controller is configured to compare the current position of the vehicle with the remote geographic location. If the current position of the vehicle is within a predetermined range of the remote geographic position, then a workload level for the vehicle will include at least in part the remote workload level.
