Mitsubishi Electric's new technology detects driver intoxication through pulse-rate measurements to prevent accidents. #DriverSafety
In Tokyo, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) unveiled a new technology that identifies intoxication levels linked to driver distraction and drowsiness. This innovation utilizes non-contact pulse-rate readings from images taken by a driver monitoring system (DMS) to accurately detect intoxication. By analyzing these signals, the system can issue driver alerts and intervene in vehicle control if necessary, contributing to the prevention of alcohol-related accidents. This development marks a significant step in leveraging advanced tech to enhance road safety.
