The driving monitoring system includes a camera-based driver monitoring systems (DMS) pointed at the driver’s face which provides a real-time evaluation of the presence and the state of the driver. DMS can help provide alerts to the driver and initiate an intervention to manage the control of the vehicle. The driver monitoring system ensures that the driver is prepared to take control of the vehicle when the situation dictates.

Beyond the driver, occupant monitoring systems can be valuable to understand their condition and even to provide a tailored environment specific to an identified occupant.
