A method for providing an alert signal to a control unit of a vehicle for controlling driver intervention. The method comprises determining a set of present driving behavior data indicative of a present driving behavior in a present driving situation and retrieving a driving model indicative of expected driving behavior for the present driving situation. Further, a plurality of expected near future paths for the vehicle are predicted and an actual path is additionally determined. The set of present driving behavior data is mapped with the driving model. When a predetermined degree of deviation in the set of present driving behavior data compared to the driving model is found and the actual path deviates from the predicted expected paths, the alert signal is provided.
