Drowsy driver detection system heavy vehicles

Embedding sensors seamlessly would make the technology highly useful for automotive manufacturers. Bosch, a leading engineering and technology company, is also working on a drowsy driver detection system.

Its version uses a camera to track head and eye movement, along with body temperature, heart rate and posture. The system could work in vehicles with limited autonomous driving capabilities. In this case, the car may be programmed to perform an emergency stop or safely move to the side of the road if the driver begins to nod off. Even so, long drives without sufficient breaks can cause even the most rested driver to experience fatigue.

In this case, take the time to refuel the car and body alike. Photo courtesy of Flickr. He since moved on to learn a few things about coefficient of drag, G-forces, toe-heel shifting, and how to work the crazy infotainment system in some random weekly driver. Gricourt, B. Davis, J. Staszewski and B. Byrne and D. Bierman and J. Legrand and D. Gricourt and B. Davis and J. The first is a video-based system that measures PERCLOS, a scientifically supported measure of drowsiness associated with slow eye closure.

A non-parametric neural network model was used to estimate PERCLOS using measures associated with lane keeping, steering wheel movements and lateral acceleration of the vehicle.
