RearView Safety Has New Fatigue-Monitoring Tool

RearView Safety unveiled a new fatigue-monitoring system to enhance driver alertness.

The RVS-MR688 model is designed “to accurately predict and identify situations where drowsiness and fatigue may be setting into a driver but also to alert those drivers so that they can pull over,” the company said.

The system uses a dashboard camera focused on the driver’s face, which has an audible alert feature if signs of fatigue are detected, the statement from the New York-based company said.

“Drivers need to work long hours in order to get important products and other materials to factories, job sites and other locations, and are constantly working to beat very strict deadlines,” the statement said.
