Develop new system for managing not to fall asleep

An Israeli company called Sphericon, which is based in Herzliya, recently became the first non-American company to receive $ 80,000 U.S. Department of Transportation to begin testing its new system which will prevent the driver to lose track while driving.

The new device that reads information management system, called DAISY (Driver Alertness Indication acronym System), and determines whether the driver is out of focus. This would occur if the driver falls asleep or is not helpful. The system also announces when the driver leaves the route. If the driver loses control, or the notion, warns the new system, either with an alarm, a light or moving your seat.

This project already has several investors, such as: Groeneveld Groep BV Netherlands, an international automotive supplier, and Gintec Active Safety Ltd. of Israel.

Dan Omry engineer who worked for the Ministry of Defense of Israel and the U.S. administration and domestic aviation space, declined to give details on the amount of money invested. According Omry the other systems that have been tested have failed, but not yours.

According to the statistics, and based on a study of the state of Virginia, more than 25% of traffic accidents are caused by the driver is sleeping or inattentive. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the causes of drowsiness while driving cause about 100,000 accidents per year. This has a cost of 12.5 billion dollars, according to U.S. National Sleep Foundation.

Several companies have already shown interest in the product, including General Motors.
