FEV Unveils Revolutionary Driver Monitoring System for Enhanced Road Safety
AACHEN, GERMANY – FEV, a global leader in driving innovation for the future of mobility, has introduced CogniSafe, an advanced Driver Monitoring System (DMS) that significantly enhances road safety. The system utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as deep learning and computer vision to monitor driver conditions in real-time, even under the most challenging circumstances.
According to Dr. Thomas Hülshorst, Group Vice President Intelligent Mobility & Software at FEV, CogniSafe is a comprehensive and innovative system that utilizes a variety of sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to precisely analyze driver behavior and alertness. This development is particularly crucial in (semi-) autonomous vehicles, as legal safety requirements continue to increase and the driver must be able to intervene in any situation. “With our latest development, we are actively reducing accidents caused by human error, which account for over 90% of all accidents,” said Hülshorst.
CogniSafe employs a unique combination of functions that work in harmony with each other. It utilizes a network of cameras in the visible light and infrared spectrum to analyze driver behavior from multiple angles. Based on this data, the system continuously tracks the driver’s gaze, evaluates eye condition (percentage of eye closure, PERCLOS), and assesses head posture to provide additional information on alertness, fatigue, and drowsiness.
The role of AI is pivotal in FEV’s latest development. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are used to perform precise real-time analyses that adapt dynamically to different drivers and environmental conditions, such as varying lighting conditions, and continuously improve.
Hülshorst also noted that the solution is highly advantageous for target groups such as fleet operators or insurance companies, who have a strong interest in promoting safe driving practices.
