The Driver Alertness
Detection System (DADS) is a cloud based service that monitors driver alertness
in real time using a camera linked to a smartphone. It scans a driver’s face
for signs of fatigue and alerts the driver and dispatchers to unsafe driver
conditions.
The windshield-mounted
camera scans the driver’s face and generates a warning when it believes the
driver has fallen into a lower level of alertness. It can warn drivers and
dispatchers as much as two hours before a driver reaches a critically reduced
state of awareness.
The phone will alert the
driver through visual and audible signals and at the same time send alerts to
third parties including dispatch centers.
Information is transmitted
to a driver’s smartphone through a Bluetooth connection and can then use the
phone’s cell connection to transmit to DADS cloud services. The cloud service
can also monitors and collects data on the driving patterns of individuals in a
fleet.
