Driver Safety System (DSS) is an in-cab detection system which uses artificial intelligence to pick up signs of fatigue and distraction in an operator. Our objective is to prevent fatigue before it sets in. To ensure this, an in-vehicle audio alarm is sounded combined with seat vibrations engaging the driver as soon as an event is detected.
Driver fatigue detection and in-cab monitoring help keep operators alert and alive.
