Netradyne has launched its third-generation Driver Drowsiness with Driver Monitoring System (DMS) Sensor for real-time detection and intervention of drowsy driving.

Unlike systems that respond only to severe drowsiness, Netradyne’s DMS Sensor is designed to identify early signs of fatigue, allowing fleets to take proactive safety measures, the company claims.

Netradyne says the system builds on extensive sleep research and a large dataset of driver behavior to detect early-stage drowsiness, even in low-light conditions or if drivers are wearing sunglasses. It uses advanced algorithms to measure indicators like microsleeps, blink rate, and percentage of eye closure over time to provide tailored, early-stage alerts that warn drivers before severe drowsiness sets in, Netradyne says.

With the system’s ability to work in sync with Netradyne’s Driver-i multi-camera platform, fleet managers gain access to both in-cab and outward-facing views, allowing for holistic monitoring of driver behavior and road conditions. This feature helps fleets address driver fatigue patterns, enabling data-informed coaching and the adjustment of schedules to enhance safety and performance.
