New Alert System for Cars

A new warning system for cars that alerts the driver if he gets distracted or is driving in drowsiness, has been developed spanish researchers. Professor Josi Marma Armingol, Department of Systems Engineering and Automation of the Universidad Carlos iii de madrid, says, “the information comes to the system through a video camera, located on the dashboard of the car, that measures eye blinking speed, its degree of openness or where the driver is looking in order to detect potentially dangerous situations.” This system is know as Advanced Driving Alert System (ADAS) and can be fitted on any car.
