Driver Alertness Indication System (DAISY) – TRB IDEA Program

This project conducted an initial development and assessment of Sphericon’s (Israel) innovative concept for detecting driver inattentiveness based on steering system dynamics, the separation of driver action from the effects of the external world on the vehicle’s lateral motion and using that relationship to evaluate driver alertness. Driver action is weighed against the effect of disturbances (bumps and road imperfections, wind gusts, etc.) on lateral motion of the vehicle, a good measure as to the alertness or attentiveness of the driver.
