Method and arrangement for determining inattentiveness of an operator of a vehicle includes determining the position of the vehicle, analyzing the determining position of the vehicle relative to a map, monitoring motion of the vehicle relative to the map to determine whether the vehicle is deviating from the map, and providing a warning when the monitored motion of the vehicle deviates from normal motion or operation of the vehicle. The position of the vehicle may be determined using a satellite-based positioning system and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU may be a MEMS-packaged IMU integrated with the satellite-based positioning systems.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for determining inattentiveness of an operator of a vehicle, comprising:providing the vehicle with a map database including data about location of traffic control devices having a variable status;determining the position of the vehicle using a satellite-based positioning system and an inertial measurement unit (IMU);analyzing the determining position of the vehicle relative to a map derived from the map database;monitoring motion of the vehicle relative to the map to determine whether the vehicle violates instructions or limitations being provided by the traffic control devices when the vehicle is subject to the traffic control devices which violation is considered a deviation from normal motion or operation of the vehicle; andproviding a warning when the monitored motion of the vehicle deviates from normal motion or operation of the vehicle.
