Driver monitoring systems (DMS) have become an essential safety technology for all vehicles, and with the continued growth in demand, many excellent solutions exist on the market. For fleet operators and small-batch automakers looking to implement DMS in their vehicles, the abundance of available technologies can make it difficult to determine which system is best suited to their needs.
Smart Eye is setting a new standard for AIS-based fleet driver monitoring by combining world-class DMS software with proprietary, automotive-standard-compliant hardware. Through AIS, Smart Eye 's AI-powered DMS software is available in any vehicle, providing a groundbreaking hardware and software integrated solution for fleet operators and small-batch automakers.
This article will explain in detail the main features that set AIS apart from conventional systems.
How is AIS superior to conventional DMS?
1. AIS enables Smart Eye's world-class DMS to be available in all vehicles.
Smart Eye has developed world-leading DMS software. This software has already been adopted by 24 automotive manufacturers and installed in 372 vehicle models, and is currently implemented in more than 4 million vehicles on roads worldwide. The AIS uses the same AI-based algorithms designed to meet the stringent quality requirements of automotive OEMs, and is based on more than 20 years of industry experience, resulting in a product that delivers high accuracy and reliability over the long term.
2. Automotive standard compliant, Swedish-developed hardware
AIS is a system that combines industry-leading software with automotive-standard-compliant hardware developed in-house to work seamlessly with AI algorithms. Designed in Sweden, the system reflects a long tradition of innovation and a strong commitment to automotive safety in every aspect, from its exceptional quality to its minimalist design.
3. Technology compliant with Euro NCAP and GSR standards
AIS complies with the EU's new General Safety Regulations (GSR) and the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) evaluation requirements, ensuring that vehicles are future-proof. For more information on these regulations, please see Smart Eye's blog series on GSR and our eBook explaining Euro NCAP.
4. Self-calibration function enables quick and easy deployment.
Unlike other high-precision solutions on the market, AIS is designed with ease of use and smooth installation in mind, making advanced DMS more accessible than ever. Its intelligent dynamic self-calibration function allows the system to be easily operational in just minutes. Once the system is installed in the vehicle, the camera automatically calibrates, requiring no user intervention or adjustments. This fast, automatic self-calibration capability enables installation in a variety of vehicle types and adjustments to different driving positions, making it virtually ready for immediate use.
5. AIS App: Support and flexible customization right on your device.
To provide fleet operators and drivers with the best possible user experience, Smart Eye has developed the AIS app. This app easily connects to the AIS system via Bluetooth. During installation, it provides immediate feedback on camera placement within the vehicle and supports firmware updates. Furthermore, system settings such as language settings, warning sensitivity levels, volume, and the timing of warning activation for distraction, drowsiness, microsleep, and driver presence detection can be freely customized.
6. The ideal solution for small-batch vehicle production
Automotive manufacturers seeking to integrate DMS into small-batch production vehicles require cost-effective and flexible solutions. AIS is an off-the-shelf system that does not require the vast resources and large-scale hardware/software architecture typically associated with the implementation of such advanced DMS. Instead, AIS enables OEMs to quickly integrate regulatory-compliant technology into new vehicle models.
7. Consideration for data privacy
All video data acquired by AIS cameras is processed in real time on the System on Chip (SoC) on the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Unlike other fleet driver monitoring systems that typically record and store driver video and data, AIS does not store any of this data in the cloud or within the system. As a result, it improves driver performance and enhances safety without ever compromising privacy.
AIS: A unique solution that combines advanced technology with flexible deployment capabilities.
For fleet operators and automotive manufacturers with small-batch production, a high-quality DMS (Driving Management System) is more than just a safety measure. It also plays a role in enhancing the future-proof capabilities of vehicles by improving compliance with regulations, operational efficiency, and driver performance. By implementing a system like AIS (Automated Information System), you can enjoy all the benefits of a state-of-the-art DMS without investing significant resources in terms of cost and labor. As a result, AIS is a cost-effective solution from multiple perspectives.
AIS demonstrates that highly advanced technology and unparalleled precision can be combined with the flexibility of a simple, off-the-shelf system. As a result, it enables uncompromising road safety and makes world-class DMS available to more vehicles without sacrificing time, cost, or privacy.
