Researchers at the Nottingham Trent University have been working with a company called Plessey in order to develop car seats that are able to detect a driver\u2019s alertness. This future innovation will be able to save many lives that are lost in road accidents due to driver negligence and fatigue.
\nPerformance <\/strong>
\nTo keep a check on a driver\u2019s alertness, researchers have been trying to integrate an ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor system into these car seats. They are working on integrating this system directly into the fabric of seats. It will help in detecting a driver\u2019s heart signals that further indicate his\/her alertness. Such signals can be used to send data to drivers who may get alert when they start feeling sleepy or fatigued. Additionally, the system will rely on active cruise control or lane departure technology. A wireless system would be able to send the information to a control center.<\/p>\n

Quality<\/strong>
\nThis high-performance sensor system is expected to offer good-quality detection of a driver\u2019s alertness. Drivers themselves and a control center would be able to know about the physical condition of drivers. This will help the control center to take timely action even if the driver is unable to pay attention to his\/her tracked signals. This seems to be a simply designed yet powerful detection system to check when a driver is falling asleep.<\/p>

Ease of use <\/strong>
\nThis system in car seats is simple to use, as it can automatically detect cardiac signals from a driver\u2019s body. It is also easy to detect signals without any obstructions because the system uses capacitive sensors. However, there is some more work required on improving data reliability and consistency. The company is prepared to deal with it using robust electrodes.<\/p>\n

Usefulness <\/strong>
\nThis innovative technological system based on ECG sensors can be highly useful in detecting the condition of a driver and in preventing accidents that happen due to driver fatigue. As this system can send relevant information to drivers and a control center, it can be effective in controlling a vehicle and preventing any mishap.<\/p>\n

Reputation <\/strong>
\nCoordinated by Plessey and the Nottingham Trent University, which are both highly reputed bodies, this project is sponsored by the Technology Strategy Board for its innovative concept. Thus, one cannot doubt the future system\u2019s quality and performance.<\/p>\n
