DRIVER MONITORING FOR SAFETY

Drowsiness and Attention
• Drowsiness and Attention being considered for
EU regulation
– Drowsiness to contribute between 10 and 20%
of accidents in EU
• NCAP safety ratings incentivizing driver
monitoring systems into vehicles

DRIVER MONITORING FOR AUTOMATION
9
Conditional Automation
• Driver attention is still
necessary in this situation
due to being a fallback

DRIVER MONITORING TECHNOLOGY
Inference Inputs
• Steering Wheel and Forward Facing Camera
Infrared Camera Systems

ADDITIONAL SAFETY TOOL:
OCCUPANT MONITORING
Occupant Monitoring
Systems, or OMS can
provide additional tools
and technologies to a
DMS system to both
prevent driver distraction
as well as enhance
overall vehicle safety

environment
Front row environment
Second Row environment
Back row or storage areas

CELL PHONE PLACEMENT
Cell phone placement can be a
major cause of driver distraction:
• Ideally, a driver has paired their
cell phone to the car and placed
it in a secure location
• OMS can alert the driver when:
• The phone is in an
inappropriate location
• If cell phone was left behind
but is visible to one of the
cameras
27. HARMAN International. Confidential. Copyright 2018.
DRIVER ALERTS – LEFT BEHIND ITEMS
If driver leaves phone when
exiting the vehicle:
• Alerts the driver with the
horn or lights that there’s an
issue with the car
• Message can be displayed on
one of the information
clusters, entertainment
system, or passenger display

OBJECTS LEFT BEHIND ON SEAT
30
Auto break-in rates are high in many larger cities.
One of the leading causes is a purse, back pack, or
laptop being left in the car.

CHILD SAFETY
31
Many times, a single driver and small
children are the only passengers in a
car.
With OMS – a parent can have eyes in
back of their head!
33. HARMAN International. Confidential. Copyright 2017. 33
AVOIDING OCCUPANT HARM
Both DMS and OMS can be used to alert
the driver if a baby or animal has been left
in the car when the driver steps area.
