drivebuddyAI, a leading innovator in AI-powered ADAS & DMS products and solutions, is proud to announce that it has been granted a patent for its unique and one of the most important inventions “A REAL-TIME DROWSINESS DETECTION SYSTEM”. The invention relates to a system that detects early signs of drowsiness based on computer vision-based approach. The invention presents detection of drowsiness before the driver turns into complete drowsy with the help of facial parameters helping drivers to regain control of the vehicles which they usually loose while being in drowsy state. The invention monitors user’s drowsiness levels using AI & Computer Vision, generating alerts for drivers based on different severity levels and help them to avoid possibility of an accident by minimizing the risk of human errors.
The vision-based drowsiness detection method allows for the real-time monitoring of the driver’s condition, ensuring swift and accurate alerts when signs of drowsiness are detected. When the system observes the combination of multiple parameters indicating the state and severity, the system can issue a voice command warning to the drivers, nudging them to regain the consciousness and take corrective measures themselves.
The Drowsiness Detection System is a part of the integrated ADAS & DMS product which is being utilized by large fleets across India for enhancing the driver safety and helping them data-driven decision making to leverage AI for operations optimization by ensuring higher up-time for the trucks, gradual behaviour improvements of drivers with the help of alerts and post-trip coaching to the drivers from the experts. Drowsiness being one of the most critical and common behaviour identified across Indian truckers transporting e-commerce, HazMat & passengers, detecting the drowsy behaviour at a right time with a severity and higher accuracy can get drivers enough confidence to rely on the AI-assistance for their journeys and can correct themselves without any human intervention. This behaviour shift is a process of psychological improvement for drivers while accepting the alerts coming through and acting upon it. Also post trip evidence-based coaching adds up to the behavioural improvement of the drivers when they observe their driving and behaviour on video evidence. The perfect recipe of enhancing road safety is highly accurate alerts on the device, enforcement from fleet to the drivers & post-facto driver coaching based on evidence.
