Panasonic Develops Technologies that Detect, Predict, and Control Drowsiness – Helping You Stay Awake and Alert while Driving, Working, and Studying .
Working together with Chiba University, Panasonic found that regardless of how people are dressed, in (cold) environments where people are giving off a lot of heat, and in bright environments drowsiness did not progress. Panasonic also developed a contactless technology that uses its proprietary infrared array sensor “Grid-EYE” to measure heat loss. Furthermore, Panasonic also highlighted how the brightness measured by environmental sensors and elapsed time affect drowsiness.
