Driver fatigue early warning system

The new driver fatigue early warning system from Transport Support combines high-end infrared cameras, microprocessor, memory modules and an alarm system in a compact and easily dashboard-mounted unit. If the system detects the driver is fatigued - based on PERCLOS (a psycho-physiological measure of alertness) analysis - it will immediately send a warning signal, even if the driver falls asleep suddenly. If the driver continues to drive without any rest, the system will continue to send a warning signal

The new driver fatigue early warning system from 7907 Transport Support combines high-end infrared cameras, microprocessor, memory modules and an alarm system in a compact and easily dashboard-mounted unit. If the system detects the driver is fatigued - based on PERCLOS (a psycho-physiological measure of alertness) analysis - it will immediately send a warning signal, even if the driver falls asleep suddenly.

If the driver continues to drive without any rest, the system will continue to send a warning signal whenever necessary.

Andy Teich, Flir’s president of commercial systems, doesn’t want to talk about infrared (IR). Instead, he’d prefer, he says, to discuss ‘thermal technology’. It is, he explains, to differentiate between the imaging technologies which his company specialises in and the LED illumination of IR cameras, an altogether different beast. Fl

    Intelligent intersection control systems have a growing role to play in making urban traffic more efficient. Robin Meczes reports. The idea of every traffic light turning green as you approach it has long been a dream for many an urban driver – and none more so than those driving heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), which are slow and difficult to bring to a halt and then accelerate back to normal travel speed. But that dream has become a reality for some drivers in a small number of cities around Europe in the las

    Idaho Transportation Department’s (ITD) research program has initiated a project to evaluate an innovative new wildlife-detection system that may bring improved safety to area highways and reduce personal injury and property damage. The project is the result of a request from ITD’s northern Idaho office, and is a partnership between ITD and the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) of Montana State University. Collisions between wildlife and vehicles can be a big problem, and common in rural states such
