Driver Monitoring Systems

Driver monitoring systems are designed to assess driver alertness and attention by monitoring eye gaze, head position and facial cues.

How do driver monitoring systems work?

Driver monitoring systems are in-vehicle technologies designed to assess driver's alertness and attention by monitoring eye gaze, head position, and facial cues. Using camera-based sensors, the system can detect signs of distraction, drowsiness or inattention and provide alerts to prompt the driver to refocus on the driving task. Some systems use other methods of determining attentiveness such as steering wheel usage or lane positioning.

Why are Driver Monitoring Systems important?

Fatigue is a major cause of crashes in Victoria resulting in approximately 50 deaths and 300 serious injuries each year. If you are feeling fatigued, it is best to avoid driving entirely rather than relying on technology.
