Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Driver Monitoring Technology-Automotive and Transportation Alert" report to their offering.

This issue of Automotive & Transportation Alert explores developments and opportunities for driver monitoring technologies for enhanced drowsiness and fatigue monitoring, including biometric sensing technologies such as camera-based systems, electric field sensing, and infrared sensors.

The purpose of the Automotive & Transportation (A&T) Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) is to raise awareness of global technology innovations in self-propelled ground-based mobile platforms that are not only technically significant, but potentially offering commercial value.

Each monthly A&T TOE provides subscribers valuable descriptions and analyses of 8 noteworthy innovations, written by a qualified TechVision automotive engineer affiliated with SAE International (the Society of Automotive Engineers). The main focus is on highway-licensed motor vehicles (light, medium and heavy). Passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, scooters and railway locomotives are within the product scope, energized by any fuel.

Many of the innovations concern powertrains (internal combustion engines, turbines, battery electrics, fuel cell electrics, hybrid-electrics), as well as drivetrains (including transmissions), interiors-seating and displays, advanced materials-as for body/chassis, wireless connectivity, and self-driving technology that is currently receiving so much attention.

The A&T TOE outlines and evaluates each innovation, notes which organizations and developers are involved, projects the likely timing for commercialization, furnishes a patent analysis, and provides valuable strategic insights for industry stakeholders.

Key Topics Covered:

  1. Eye and Pupil Tracking System
  2. ECG Sensors for Monitoring Driver Alertness
  3. Driver Drowsiness Detection Using Steering Angle Sensor
  4. Eye Glasses to Help Detect Driver Drowsiness
  5. Wearable Sensor to Make Roads of Japan Safer
  6. Facial Movement Recognition-based Driver Sleep Monitoring System
  7. Eye Monitoring for Drowsiness Detection Using a Wearable Device
  8. Driver Drowsiness Detection System
