Driver Fatigue Alertness Technology (DFAT) – SBIR, Phase I
Based on a review of the commercially available systems and the limitations of the current systems, FMCSA initiated additional research to improve in-vehicle alertness monitoring. This study, which is being conducted through FMCSA’s Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, will develop a device to improve alertness monitoring. FMCSA anticipates the integration and/or selection of these research efforts will produce a device that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with all drivers. The goal is to develop a fully functional device that will monitor and warn as well as educate drivers when they have become too impaired to operate a commercial motor vehicle safely.
