Omron Improves Its Driver Monitoring System

OMRON driver monitoring system uses three barometers to judge whether the driver is capable of focusing on driving responsibilities: (1) whether the driver is observing the vehicle's operation (Eyes ON/OFF); (2) how quickly the driver will be able to resume driving (Readiness High/Mid/Low); and (3) whether the driver is behind the wheel (Seating ON/OFF). Additionally, the company's facial image sensing technology, OKAO Vision, now makes it possible to sense the state of the driver even if wearing a mask or sunglasses - something that had previously not been possible.
