In this short video – the technology behind the HARKEN Project is explained. The system uses embedded, nonintrusive in-cars sensors to monitor a driver’s heart rate and respiration. The car is able to determine if its driver is suffering from fatigue and warn him that his driving ability has become impaired.
The project, part of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme, aims to address the 7,000 fatigue-related fatalities that occur annually on EU roadways.
