A method for alerting the driver of a stationary vehicle that traffic in front has started moving. The method includes detecting an object in front of the vehicle 414, e.g. via a collision detecting unit; monitoring the gaze of a driver 408, 418 using a camera (102, fig. 2A); and providing an alert to the driver 416 when the transmission of the vehicle is in drive 406, the speed of the vehicle is zero, the object is detected to transition from stationary to moving, and the driver is detected to not be looking forward (i.e. not looking at the road) 410, 420. The alert may be provided by a traffic monitor. The object may be determined to start moving when its speed satisfies a threshold. The traffic monitor may calibrate the gaze detection 402 by creating a baseline of the drivers face when the vehicle speed is over a threshold. The camera may be a multispectral camera which filters infrared. The alert may be a sound, a visual indicator or haptic, e.g. vibration of the seat, pedal or steering wheel. Also claimed are a vehicle and computer that carry out the method.
