Theres alot of business out there for DMS. In Fleet if only 10% will clean up...
Nearly 12.5 million commercial large trucks and buses were registered in 2016, logging more than 300 billion vehicle miles across the U.S. Of the 37,133 fatal crashes on the nation's roadways, 4,889 (13.2 percent) involved at least one large truck or bus, an increase of more than two percent in 2017.
There are more than 6.2 million medium and heavy commercial vehicles on EU roads, up 1.7% compared to 2019.
The future for driver monitoring systems (DMS) in passenger vehicles looks bright, considering legislative and private interest in using the technology to implement semi-automated driving and improve driving safety, according to an analysis published in the tech publication Embedded.
In spite of security concerns centered on the use of cameras to monitor driver behavior, if regulations currently under consideration in the U.S. and China are eventually enacted, DMS “will proliferate into passenger vehicles at a substantial rate over the next decade,” Alex Pluemer, a senior technical freelance writer for Mouser Electronics, writes.
Pluemer writes that DMS, employed by commercial truck fleets for years, is seen as a way to counteract the dangerous combination of semi-autonomous vehicles and distracted drivers. “Concern over distracted drivers with their eyes on their phones, tablets, etc., and failing to pay enough attention to avoid preventable collisions and other accidents continue to increase as automated driving systems have become more common,” he writes.
Typically, DMS uses a camera or other sensors to monitor the driver’s facial position and eye movements in order to determine if they are alert and looking out the windshield. The system will alert an inattentive or distracted driver with visual and audible warnings, and can lock out advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) features for a time, or even bring the vehicle to a safe stop on the side of the roadway.
