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.

  • Increased automation is already improving road safety
    April 20, 2017
    Richard Cuerden considers how many of the technologies developed as part of a move toward autonomous vehicles are already being deployed as ADAS improve road safety. The drive to create autonomous vehicles has caused a re-evaluation of what is needed to safely navigate today’s roads and the development of systems that can replace the driver in many scenarios. However, many manufacturers are not waiting for ‘tomorrow’ and are already incorporating these systems in their new cars as Advanced Driver Assistanc

    A study has shown the extent and ramifications of wrong way driving and proposed cost-effective countermeasures. Wrong way driving collisions occur relatively infrequently but the results can be devastating. Statistics from the US National Transportation Safety Board, an independent, federal all-modes agency, reveal that wrong way (WW) driving, account for only about 3% of accidents on high-speed divided highways but are much more likely to result in fatal and serious injuries.

    TRL's Alan Stevens looks at the evolution and future prospects of in-vehicle navigation devices. Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) plays a crucial role in the safety of vehicles on our roads. Until we achieve full automation (and that's a debatable prospect anyway) a driver's interaction with the vehicle - all the controls, information and systems - holds a pivotal role in safe driving.

  • New vehicle technologies ‘could help reduce fatalities on European motorways’
    March 5, 2015
    New safety technologies could play a major role in reducing the numbers killed on European motorways, according to the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), in a new report published today. The new analysis of developments in motorway safety shows that, despite recent progress, around 1,900 were killed on motorways in the EU in 2013. The report cites figures from several countries showing that up to 60 per cent of those killed in motorway collisions were not wearing a seatbelt. It calls on the EU to req
