Standing for Visual Intelligence and Operations, Visio.AI has driver drowsiness and distraction alert system, a patented and on the verge of changing the on-road and overall traffic safety. It has IR cameras placed on front shield of cars, a wire and a small chip module inside the dashboard. The live video feeds taken by the IR cameras are processed within the dashboard memory. This memory is synced with mobile apps that send alerts, text messages or any other indications whenever the driver is not fully alert while driving. Visio.AI has works underway to integrate this system into the engine so as to slow down the vehicle automatically when the driver is not fully focused. Since the processing and analyzing is executed on-board, there is no time and information lag. Therefore, this kind of approach takes the drowsiness response time to its minimum.
