Artificial intelligence is being used to help prevent fatigue and unsafe driving in cement tanker drivers.
The Driver Status Monitoring System, developed by Spillard Vehicle Safety Systems, uses in-cab cameras and sensors to detect driver fatigue.
It is being fitted to a 50-strong fleet, of 44-tonne bulk tankers at Aggregate Industries’ Lafarge Cement business and its partner, Lomas Distribution.
The intelligent algorithm tracks and detects eye movements like rapid blinking, facial features, and any other signs of fatigue. It can then trigger an alarm that continues to sound until the vehicle comes to a stop.
