Driver State Sensor

The DSS is a robust, automatic sensor platform that uses cutting edge face tracking techniques to deliver information on operator fatigue and operator distraction. The DSS has been specifically designed for straightforward deployment into vehicles & environments where fatigue and inattention need to be monitored and managed

Feedback For Drivers

The DSS, once deployed, can raise the driver’s awareness of fatigue and distraction. Instant audio feedback is available to drivers when fatigue or distraction events are detected, but fatigue warnings are
modulated such that the system cannot be abused to stay awake. Raising the awareness of fatigue and distraction through driver feedback promotes recognition of the value of sleep and which will help to
reduce incidents across an organization.

Fleet Management Integration

In addition to in-cab feedback, the DSS can be integrated into fleet management. The data relating to fatigue and distraction events can be stored for later analysis, or critical data can be sent directly via GPRS
or Satellite to provide real-time information to fleet management. Event reporting allows managers to pinpoint issues within the fleet and address these specifically.

Benefits

There are numerous benefits from employing DSS Advanced Fatigue Management beyond in-cabin alarms:

- Understanding of the current “baseline” level of fatigue in your fleet.
- Ability to manage driver scheduling through detailed data on in-cab events.
- Detect changes in the organisation which affect driver fatigue levels and validate procedures.
- Raise awareness of fatigue as a key issue, resulting in more effective use of rest times.
- Less fatigue related crashes. This means less driver injury, interruption, cost and lower insurance premiums.

Insurance Solutions

The DSS offers a viable solution to accident severity where declining driver performance levels are involved. High cost accidents are unpredictable and difficult to underwrite. With the DSS tracking drivers
real-time, tiredness, distraction and nodding off at the wheel are identifiable well before a serious accident occurs. Both driver and management are alerted when these events occur avoiding the high
cost and severity event.
