Drowsy driving and distracted driving are two of the biggest threats to driver safety today. In today’s information- and technology-driven world, where it is often expected of us to be able to function at peak capacity even when we are physically and mentally exhausted, drowsy driving and distracted driving accidents are a growing problem, especially within the US. From this issue, Speedir saw an opportunity to help improve safety on the road with their new drowsy driving prevention technology - the Driver Fatigue Monitoring System.
The SEMA award-winning Driver Fatigue Monitoring System (DMS) from Speedir offers drivers of all kinds a new level of drowsy driving prevention like never before. Using innovative technologies from Speedir - specifically a combination of advanced infrared sensors and state-of-the-art AI facial recognition algorithms - this DMS can quickly and accurately measure indicators of drowsiness or distraction and alert the driver audibly to a potentially dangerous situation. Such indicators include eye positioning (blinking speed, closed eyes, and eye direction to determine if the driver is looking away from the road), head positioning (nodding off), and yawning.
Inside is a self-contained night vision camera that uses highly accurate infrared sensors to track facial movements. Because Speedir’s DMS uses this infrared technology, the system’s accuracy and efficiency is not affected by the time of day, a driver wearing glasses, or any reflective light. This type of technology offers a uniquely precise and effective way to monitor driver fatigue and dramatically increases driver safety by providing notice when drowsy or distracted behaviors are detected, allowing for the driver to recognize the danger and make a safe decision.
Also inside is pre-trained AI software with advanced facial recognition capabilities. The AI is what actually recognizes and audibly alerts the driver to drowsiness and distraction indicators. This thoroughly vetted AI process is as accurate as possible in monitoring a driver’s status and attention. Because the system is pre-trained and pre-loaded with all of its algorithms, you don’t need a wifi connection to use it or ever worry about going through wireless updates that take time away from being able to use the device.
One of the best features of the device itself is that it is easy to install and even easier to use. The device is powered by a simple USB that you can plug into any vehicle. All mounting equipment is included. The device is also compact, so it will easily fit on your dashboard without obstructing your view or being obnoxious. All of these features serve to make this DMS convenient, universal, and affordable.
The combination of high-tech AI systems and infallible infrared sensors makes Speedir’s Driver Fatigue Monitoring System a safety must-have, and will bring your vehicle into the modern age of driving.
