4. Smart Information for a moving world!
WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?
The statistical research
on biological phenomenae

5. Smart Information for a moving world!
WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?
Includes measurement, analysis and detection of physiological
and behavioral characteristics without necessarily identifying an
individual
Industry is gradually adopting the more broader definition

6. WHAT’S DRIVING THE
INDUSTRY?
The traditional automotive industry
is being threatened by three
megatrends:
1. Electric vehicles (EV)
2. Autonomous vehicles
3. Ride-sharing

SECURITY

9. SECURITY
Security is linked to
the need to identify
securely and
automatically the
driver of a vehicle

Driver Assistance is
given through a Driver
State Monitoring System
(DSM), which is one type
of ADAS
DSM systems can
help detect
biometric
parameters such as
stress, distraction
or fatigue levels of
drivers

21. Modern lifestyles such as early morning starts, shift work, late night
socialising, often lead to excessive tiredness by preventing adequate rest.
Up to 20% of accidents on motorways and other monotonous types of
roads may be caused by drivers falling asleep at the wheel (DVLA).

TIREDNESS IS REAL BUT INVISIBLE
Sleep-related accidents
are more likely than
others to result in a
fatality or serious injury
(THINK!)

22. datik DSM
The DSM consist of a driver facing
camera:
Smart Information for a moving world!
✓ Detects tiredness and warns driver
✓ Detects distraction
✓ Identifies driver
✓ Sends statistics in real time to coach or bus
operator

23. SAFER DRIVER
• Instant feedback (seat vibration) to warn driver
BETTER INFORMED OPERATOR
• Real-time alerts via SMS or email
• Access to iPanel Cloud Platform:
✓ Real time alerts: image, location, driver ID, etc.
✓ Fatigue risk statistics
✓ Driving behaviour indicators by fleet, driver, or
time-frames
✓ Fatigue history per feet, driver, or time-frame or date

BENEFITS OF THE DSM

24. Smart Information for a moving world!
Biometrics raises many questions
surrounding data protection,
cyber security and the morality
of a big brother like experience
Bus driver acceptance is key for
the adoption of such technology
CONCERNS AROUND
BIOMETRICS

25. Smart Information for a moving world!
1. Biometrics is not just about identification and authentication
2. It’s an industry at the beginning of its life cycle
3. As biometrics starts to be integrated, other disruptive
applications will consequently be revealed
