safety_state_for_driver

This data flow is used within the Provide Vehicle Monitoring and Control function and the Provide Driver and Traveler Services function. It contains an indication of the level of importance that must be attached to an associated safety warning. The warning may be related to the condition of the driver, the vehicle, or the road ahead of the vehicle. The data item is so that it can be used to define the seriousness of the safety condition. The character may describe but not be limited to defining advisory, e.g. windshield washer fluid level low, fairly serious, e.g. road ahead has severe bends, very serious, e.g. alternator not working, vehicle running on battery, critical, e.g. engine temperature too high, engine about to stop. The descriptive character is for use by the message output process in determining the level of priority that the message should have over other messages that are being output to the driver.
