Sensor seatbelt detects fatigue

HARKEN is a sensor embedded  driver’s seatbelt and seat cover that monitors cardiac and respiratory rhythms.  Its hidden signal processing unit analyzes the data in real time.  The prototype is being developed at Spain’s  Biomechanics Institute in Valencia. When the sensor data indicates the person is falling asleep, an alarm will wake the driver.

 Closed track testing has been completed.  The research team is making plans to test the system in real world traffic conditions.
