Bosch Developing Drowsiness Detection System
The system records how many times long pauses in steering-wheel movements are followed by sudden impulses. The attention system mixes those figures with other variables such as speed. If the condition becomes too frequent, it lights up a little coffee cup indicator, on the dash, to tell the driver it is time to rest, but more importantly, to stop to do so.
The system is already in use in some of the high end cars of Merecdes Benz and Volvo. Robert Bosch France President Guy Maugis said: "A number of vehicles are already equipped with steering-wheel angle sensors, which work with the ESP systems. It can easily, and cheaply, be used to detect whether or not the driver is falling asleep, which would in turn increase road safety.”
