Aptiv hard at work20 May 2019 18:38
Aptiv, which develops technologies for autonomous cars, is working on an intelligent driver monitoring system at its tech centre in Kraków. This technology will be developed with the support of the National Centre for Research and Development.
Polish engineers at Aptiv`s Tech Center Krakow are working on the Interior Sensing Platform, which is based on artificial intelligence, and its main task is to improve road safety also by detecting a drop in driver concentration.
The system monitors the interior of the vehicle with 2D and 3D cameras and sensors supported by software. It not only checks whether the driver is watching the road, but also understands whether the driver is physically and emotionally available and not, for example, focused on a smartphone in his hands.
The Aptiv system supports many functions, including personalization and identification based on the driver`s face, as well as gestures and sight control. In the event of detecting the danger of, for example, the driver falling asleep, the system can also perform actions that will help minimize the risk of an accident. For example, in a situation where the system notices that the driver often closes his eyes, it will notify the driver of the drop in concentration and suggest a stop or coffee.
