FEATURE: Driver monitoring systems – trends and developments26 Apr 2024 11:31
paul mcglone, ceo of seeing machines, is similarly optimistic about the potential for full cabin monitoring. the company has recently partnered with magna to integrate a dms into a rearview mirror, which offers a suitable viewpoint, and further developed its algorithm to support more features – for example, closer interactions between the dms and adas functions and enabling smarter, ai-driven, digital assistants.
“as driver adoption increases over time, accelerated by regulatory tailwinds, the optical and processing systems put in place can then be harnessed to offer a range of value-adding features to the manufacturer, the driver and indeed passengers,” he explains.
“this includes features based around convenience, such as simulating augmented reality using eye position, comfort (for example, adapting the ****pit to the driver’s profile) and also extending the safety of other occupants in the vehicle. moreover, over-the-air updates mean these features can be sold to models already on the road.”
cabin monitoring is also a development focus for smart eye, and company ceo martin krantz notes a significantly higher level of complexity involved. while a dms would typically have 20 features, cabin monitoring requires higher-resolution cameras with a wider field of vision, supporting up to 100 features – including the state of occupants, forgotten object detection and even the position of child seats.
for suppliers, those next stages include increased need to understand and interpret human physiology – such as intoxication, drowsiness and ill health – and the automotive industry is benefiting from research in other areas. smart eye technology is supporting studies of human behaviors for qualitative studies, and monitoring responses to entertainment and advertising.
