The camera is mounted on the dashboard, facing the driver, and uses the most up-to-date tracking technology to recognize facial expressions and signs of distraction. If there is a need to caution the driver or bring their attention to an oncoming hazard, an alert will sound to bring back the driver\u2019s attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern fleet managers are considering introducing a driver monitoring system, as it provides timely alerts to the driver and actively initiates an intervention to manage the control of the vehicle. In other words, the driver monitoring system ensures that the driver is prepared to take control of the vehicle when the situation dictates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the driver monitoring system is becoming a standard implementation of most automotive safety features around the world due to recent governmental oversight and regulations. For example, the European Union requires DMS to be included in all new vehicles from 2024 onwards; in 2020, the US government also passed a large-scale highway and infrastructure bill that mandated DMS systems be included in all newly manufactured vehicles with automated driving capabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1559715365-1.jpg\" alt=\"A fleet of white vans equipped with DMS crossing a bridge over water.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1559715365-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1559715365-1-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1559715365-1-150x66.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1559715365-1-768x336.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does Driver Monitoring System Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standard driver monitoring systems use a driver-facing camera with infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) so that it can track the driver\u2019s face, even at night time. Driver monitoring systems typically use a driver-facing camera equipped with LEDs or lasers so that it can \u201csee\u201d the driver\u2019s face, even at night, and see the driver\u2019s eyes even if the driver is wearing dark sunglasses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A driver monitoring software can recognize if the driver\u2019s facial expressions begin to show signs of tiredness, such as excessive blinking, narrowing, or closing eyes, or if their head sits at an unusual angle. It can register if the driver is losing concentration or beginning to fall asleep, and an alert is sounded to bring the driver back to full attention. The alert can trigger a brake to maintain safe driving practices in extreme circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Driving Management Benefits of Vehicle Monitoring Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_589267616-1.jpg\" alt=\"A car dashboard and front interior equipped with a driver monitoring system.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_589267616-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_589267616-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_589267616-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sintrones.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_589267616-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many benefits to driving management for drivers and fleet managers when utilizing vehicle monitoring systems. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fuel economy \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fuel_economy_in_automobiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fuel economy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes into account the distance traveled by a vehicle and the amount of fuel consumed. Many countries are imposing fuel economy requirements targeting commercial fleets as it is a significant factor in air pollution. By analyzing drivers&#8217; behaviors, the vehicle monitoring system can create strategies to reduce fuel use. This can be achieved by optimizing routes and reducing downtimes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhanced driver safety and productivity \u2013 By monitoring drivers\u2019 focus and awareness, it\u2019s possible to ensure safe driving practices, increasing productivity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventative maintenance \u2013 Careful driving helps mechanics last longer; this allows cars to last longer and acts as a preventative maintenance technique.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automated reminders for driver compliance \u2013 With automated reminders, drivers consistently comply with safety procedures and practice safe driving at all times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced manual admin work &amp; fleet downtime \u2013 By consistently monitoring driving safety, vehicle maintenance and downtime are reduced, and fleets run continuously.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced Applications of In-vehicle Monitoring Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced application of an in-vehicle monitoring system uses smart technology that can be personalized for each individual driver. The benefits increase safety, provide key insights to reduce downtime, and can also integrate with smart devices such as phones, tablets, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interior Sensing\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Driving monitoring systems can also track the car\u2019s interior, not just the driver\u2019s face. Also known as in-cabin monitoring, an interior sensing system is designed to identify the state and behaviors of drivers and occupants. This can be an extra helpful feature of a driver monitoring system, as it can, for instance, detect if a child has been left in the car, objects have been forgotten, and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another interesting, emerging benefit of interior sensing is driver personalization, where the driver\u2019s usual facial function and habits are tracked and noted as \u201cnormal\u201d behaviors to avoid unnecessary alerts. Meanwhile, it is effective in detecting driver distraction, fatigue, and unresponsive driving.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autonomous Driving\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The predictive element made possible by driver monitoring systems is vital for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Self-driving_car#:~:text=The%20SAE%20levels%20can%20be,Level%205%20%E2%80%93%20steering%20wheel%20optional.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">autonomous driving at levels 3 and 4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, both of which require drivers to re-engage and prepare to take control of the vehicle at specific points of the drive. Driver\u2019s attention must be on the road and surroundings at all times, even during automated driving, to take control of the wheel when needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As discussed earlier, the feature of interior sensing recognizes the driver\u2019s current level of alertness and issues a warning when their level of drowsiness could compromise their ability to drive safely. A driver monitoring system ensures that the driver maintains focus during the drive and that attention doesn\u2019t lapse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deploy Reliable Driver Monitoring System with SINTRONES<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, introducing a driver monitoring system can scale up your fleet management in terms of safety and efficiency with the most advanced technological solutions.
