To provide a driver state recognition apparatus that can accurately recognize a driver so as to enable the driver to promptly take over a driving operation, particularly a pedal operation, even during autonomous driving.SOLUTION: A driver state recognition apparatus 20 that recognizes a state of a driver of a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving system 1 includes a state recognition data acquisition unit 22a that acquires state recognition data around a foot of a driver's seat of the vehicle, a leg state inference unit 22b that infers a state of the driver's legs using the state recognition data acquired by the state recognition data acquisition unit 22a, and a readiness determination unit 22c that determines whether the driver is in a state of being able to immediately operate a pedal of the vehicle during autonomous driving, based on inference information from the leg state inference unit 22b.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
【課題】自動運転中であっても運転者が運転操作、特にペダル操作を迅速に引き継ぐことができるように運転者を正確に把握することができる運転者状態把握装置を提供すること。【解決手段】自動運転システム1を備えた車両の運転者の状態を把握する運転者状態把握装置20であって、車両の運転席の足元周辺の状態把握データを取得する状態把握データ取得部22aと、状態把握データ取得部22aで取得した状態把握データを用いて運転者の足の状態を推定する足状態推定部22bと、足状態推定部22bの推定情報に基づいて、自動運転中に運転者が車両のペダルをすぐに操作できる状態にあるか否かを判定する即応性判定部22cとを装備する。【選択図】図3
