According to statistics, 93% of road accidents in Russia occur due to driver's loss of concentration on the road. Even professionals may fail to hold attention when driving for several days in a row. Smoking, phone chatting, or lassitude are among the most common reasons why employees lose concentration.
Experience shows that we can avoid 90% of car accidents if a driver is warned 1,5 seconds before a dire situation. As a rule, a person at the wheel needs some assistance. It could be a watchful companion, who would pinch a driver in the crucial moment, but we offer you trying an impartial digital fellow — MONTRANS DVR.
The latest IT development of MONTRANS LLC is an intelligent system for assessing driver's condition, designed on the principles of neuronet analytics, which works out all kinds of risky situations on the road. It is a mobile digital complex suitable for any vehicle.
The main component of the IT-solution and its think tank is called the Advanced driver-assistance system or ADAS. It includes a "hard drive", a data card, and a digital camera aiming at the road in front. ADAS handles a number of situations that may arise while driving. The system warns drivers of possible run-overs, approaching vehicles, various obstacles, and objects in front of the car, etc. In dire situations, employees hear a voice warning, and the display shows graphic images corresponding to the event.
Another component is the Driver monitoring system or DMS. Its task lies in continuous monitoring special points on a person's face. In case of deviations from the program settings, DMS produces a sound signal and images on the monitor screen. For instance, if a driver starts yawning or closes his eyes, the solution recognizes signs of fatigue. Similarly, DMS is triggered by a phone brought to the ear or a cigarette near the face.
MONTRANS is currently planning to develop another DMS function — measuring a driver's body temperature. Digital sensors will be able to check the physical well-being of an employee during a working day. In the present pandemic situation, it has become especially relevant.
“Along with recognizing fatigue, distraction, smoking, and talking on the phone the MONTRANS DVR solution is also able to recognize a drunk person. In such a state, people lose concentration and close their eyes. The DMS camera captures all such signs and transfers them to the cloud service. Thus, it is additional protection preventing traffic accidents", — says Dmitry Zhuravlev, managing partner of MONTRANS LLC.
The MONTRANS DVR system helps both employees and managers of the vehicle fleet.
Advantages for drivers:
1. Improving driving safety;

3. Compliance with the regime of work and rest.

The MONTRANS DVR set can be supplemented with one more camera at clients' request. It is able to control both driver's actions and various processes taking place outside the car: refueling and emptying, loading and unloading as well as lifting mechanisms.
All the processes here remain transparent to the company's management. Reports along with photo and video materials are instantly sent to the cloud service. DVR also gives an opportunity of online monitoring, all the files are stored in the "cloud" for up to one and a half years.
