The successful certification process with Solaris in compliance with the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) marks an important milestone for Smart Eye’s second commercial vehicle customer to achieve certification using the Smart Eye AIS system.

Gothenburg, Sweden, October 8, 2024: Smart Eye, a global leader in Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), announced that its AIS Commercial Vehicle (CV) Alert driver assistance system has passed certification by Polish bus manufacturer Solaris. The certification ensures compliance with the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR), which mandates the use of advanced drowsiness detection technology in all new trucks, buses and cars.

Solaris, a leading European manufacturer of city and intercity buses, is one of the first manufacturers to achieve certification for SmartEye 's AIS CV Alert system, following successful certifications by other European bus manufacturers.

AIS CV Alert, launched in October​ ​2023, aims to provide bus and truck manufacturers with an in-vehicle solution that can accurately detect drowsiness and instantly adapt to GSR. It uses advanced computer vision and AI to detect early signs of drowsiness, helping to prevent accidents.

To bring the AIS CV Alert System to Solaris, Smart Eye partnered with Skymatik, a company that specializes in advanced automation and integration solutions. Together, they helped Solaris successfully implement the system and ensure full compliance with the EU GSR regulations.

"The successful certification with Solaris demonstrates the strength of Smart Eye's AIS CV Alert system in meeting the stringent GSR requirements," said Carl Bergendal, AIS Sales Director at Smart Eye. "As GSR requirements drive demand for advanced driver assistance solutions, Smart Eye is well positioned to serve more commercial vehicle manufacturers across Europe. the Company position is also strengthened by a strong partner ecosystem with key collaborators like Skymatik helping ensure seamless implementation of our system. We look forward to continuing to work closely with OEMs to ensure a smooth certification process and enhance road safety."

"Working with Smart Eye and the AIS CV Alert system has enabled us to efficiently meet our certification requirements, strengthening our commitment to improving public transport safety," said Arkadiusz Cierniak, Senior Design Engineer at Solaris. "Their technology is invaluable in ensuring the Company vehicles comply with the latest EU safety standards, further establishing Solaris as a leading provider of safe and modern transport solutions in Europe."

Smart Eye's line of AIS driver support systems not only meets today's regulatory requirements, but also has the flexibility to adapt to future safety requirements, such as the GSR mandate for camera-based driver distraction detection. This new mandate will come into force for all new vehicle type registrations in July 2024 and will apply to all new cars from July 2026. To address this, Smart Eye recently launched AIS Focus, a system specifically designed to detect driver distraction in real time, ensuring compliance with the evolving GSR standards.
