Russian developers offer drivers a "pill" of sleep behind the wheel. A joint project of Moscow and St. Petersburg manufacturers is in demand at INNOPROM-2017. The wake-up monitoring system Sleep Alert is a cap stuffed with a service module with a beeper that, when a person approaches the sleep state, starts beeping. Parallel to the driver's arm vibrates the bracelet.
The system is able to read the activity of the brow muscle and compare the reaction of the human eye with the sleepiness scale. This information allows the device to react to the changing state of the driver and send him a signal.
"However, we rely not only on physiology, but also on the psychophysiology of the organism. For example, you drive on a monotonous route and shift attention from external stimuli to internal ones - you start thinking about vacation during the movement and immerse yourself in your thoughts. In this case, the device does not allow you to shut down, "- says the author of the project, the general director of the company" Neuromatics "Vladimir Statute.
Miracle-cap is able to take the driver out of the state of so-called road hypnosis or a second falling asleep.
"It's impossible to sleep in it. We provide maximum security, - says the developer. - In practice, the effectiveness of the system's operation is 97% ".
The concept was invented by scientists-psychoneurophysiologists. In the development of the project was a year and a half, and the market came out about a month ago.
"The system is more often purchased by individuals, although it is possible to distribute the device to the b2b segment. If a person works in a logistics company and is engaged in cargo transportation or is a bus driver, he may not wait for the company or the state to take care of him, so we made the price tag acceptable - 10 thousand rubles. When I watch the news and see that the next bus has crashed through the fault of the tired driver, and people have died, it's bitter to me that in this situation the person did not have our device, "says Vladimir Statute.
Captive protection, according to the developer, could be used by families traveling on their own car to the Russian south, or take on the drivers who transport children to suburban camps.
Now the issue of European system certification is being decided, after which active sales of the device abroad can begin.
"At INNOPROM we were approached by representatives of serious Indian and Belarusian companies, they are interested in the distribution of products. And after attention to our development of the first person of the state, we receive calls from the subjects of the Federation, they are fighting for the right to become the first region of the system's implementation. Greater Novgorod has shown great interest, "says Vladimir Statute.
