Case Study: Long-Distance Driver Attention Monitoring in Canada

Our case study takes us to Canada, where a research team aimed to study driver attention during long-haul drives. The study involved monitoring drivers over extended periods, ranging from seven to eight hours. Unlike traditional studies conducted in simulators, this real-world scenario presented unique challenges.

The Challenge: Maintaining Accuracy and Reliability

In traditional studies, researchers have the luxury of segmenting data and recalibrating systems as needed. However, in this case, with only a 20-minute gap between drivers, the system needed to operate flawlessly throughout the entire drive. The last 20 minutes, when drivers are more prone to fatigue, were of particular interest.

Smart Eye Solution: Robust Installation and Automated Operation

To meet the challenge, our team designed a robust installation capable of withstanding the rigors of long-haul driving. Industrial-grade components, such as the industrial PC, were selected to ensure reliability in the face of vibrations and temperature changes.

Seamless Integration and Cable Management

While ensuring robustness, we also focused on seamless integration and minimal disruption to the driver’s environment. Cameras and sensors were carefully positioned, and meticulous cable management ensured that wires didn’t hinder driver movement.

The Bottom Line: Why Choose Smart Eye?

In conclusion, Smart Eye offers more than just eye tracking technology; we offer solutions that address real-world needs. By partnering with us, organizations gain access to technology that is not only accurate and reliable but also adaptable to diverse environments.
