Driver Fatigue and Alertness Technology Countermeasures Wednesday, March 22, 1:30PM - 3:00PM
Each year, tens of thousands of road users are killed or injured in vehicle crashes that are attributed to driver drowsiness. A recent NHTSA report estimated the annual societal costs of these crashes, not including property damage, was $109 billion. Given the magnitude of this problem, innovative companies are working on technological solutions that monitor and quantify drowsiness, providing real-time warnings to drivers/operators and/or supervisors. On this panel, Mr. Matthew Kenyon from CurAegis Technologies, Mr. Jérôme Wertz from Phasya, Mr. Rusty Weiss from Lytx, and Mr. Zackary Knoll from Maven Machines will describe their solutions aimed at preventing and mitigating this national epidemic.
