ntttttttttttt

Aisin Seiki Co Ltd welcomes journalists to preview the company’s latest innovative ITS technology on exhibition at North American International Auto Show in Detroit from Jan 14-27.

One of the highlights of the press preview is the AISIN unique demonstration car incorporating the technology to protect the driver for safe driving. The demonstration car offers visitors a first-hand opportunity to experience Aisin’s futuristic Intelligent Transport System technology.

Innovative features of the Aisin Human Error Monitoring System

Sensors buried inside the seat monitor the driver’s heart rate, breathing rhythm, and general body movements for signs of irregular behavior.

nnAn infra-red camera positioned on the steering column cover monitors changes in the driver’s facial expressions for attentiveness (face and eye gazing direction) and drowsiness (eye-opening measurements).n

In addition to these features of the demonstration car, Aisin Seiki is also developing novel technology for monitoring the driver’s state of mind by measuring brain waves.

If the system detects signs of irregular driving then the driver is given an audio warning accompanied by seat vibration. Then if the driver ignores these warnings then the Human Error Monitoring System automatically applies the brakes and guides the car to a stop on the hard shoulder or road side. Finally, the System transmits an SOS via the smart phone of the driver.

The Aisin Human Error Monitoring System will in the future be integrated and synchronised with life and health care products produced by Aisin group companies to monitor the driver’s health – such as the quality of sleep and symptoms of flu – round the clock.
