Pretec Showcases World’s First Sleep Alert Car Recorder
Effectively Prevents Accidents Caused by Drowsy and Drunk DrivingPretec, the 1st in the world to provide the highest capacity SD 1.0 card (4GB) and fastest (133X) in the world since July of 2005, combines Pretec’s digital imaging technology and the pioneering flash storage with revolutionary biomedical technology to offer the world’s first Sleep Alert Car Recorder, a patent-pending car recorder that can effectively reduce a driver’s risk of distracted driving derived from sleepy or drunk driving during the vehicle navigation process; Which showcases today in Pretec booth at Computex 2012 (Nangang Exhibition Hall, Booth K0915a).
Research results from public or private sources indicate that at least 100,000 police-reported crashes each year are the direct result of driver fatigue. Drowsy driving, sleep-related vehicle accidents (SRVA's) has caused up to 25 percent of all accidents on motorways. With an additional head band or cap where sensors are build-in to monitor the somberness of the driver’s mental/body state, the main unit is as small as a regular car recorder, which receives the analyzed and processed signals by the biomedical microprocessor transmitted wirelessly from the body sensors of the head band.When the driver’s overall body condition is identified as abnormal or not suitable for further driving, the recorder will make appropriate audio and video alarm; or as an option to simultaneously transmit the driver’s data back to the control center. Main features of the device include:
- Stay alert while driving to prevent drowsy and drunk driving
- Highly sensitive for the detection of abnormal behavioral conditions
- A full-blown digital camcorder with battery pack
- HD (720P) resolution for clear video
- Fish-eye correction technology for wide angle operation
- Portable size and light weight
- Equipped with G-Sensor
Other than the sleep prevention function, the unit has the patented capability of smart auto-detection technology to precisely analyze the driver’s body posture, body temperature and heart beat as an option, which can be used to provide more relevant health data for further process in the future. Pretec may consider having a program of free license of such technology to any Car Recorder makers, or any automobile electronics developers/manufacturers to promote viable public safety awareness through technology.
