Among the many problems that carmakers and their suppliers are investigating that new sensor technology might help solve is driver fatigue. An effective solution that is implementable in a vehicle and not just under laboratory conditions would have to be transparent to the driver. Plessey engineers think they have a solution. Using their EPIC sensor […]
Sensor Monitors Driver Fatigue, Seat Occupancy and More
Targeting automotive applications, Plessey Semiconductors’ PS25203 sensor can provide a contactless ECG measurement for driver fatigue monitoring or sensing seat occupancy. In addition to driver monitoring for health and alertness by detecting heart rate and respiration, the sensor can determine the occupancy of the car to adjust the ride, handling and air bag deployment depending […]
