or years, the vision of future cars has centered around the idea of “smartphones on wheels.” But is
that the most relevant analogy? A more compelling perspective might be to view modern vehicles as
“smartwatches on wheels,” equipped with intelligent systems that actively monitor occupants’ vital
parameters and enhance its safety.
By integrating technologies behind dashboard displays such as vital
parameter measurements, drowsiness detection or seatbelt recognition,
the ability to track driver’s alertness, stress, safety and overall vital
parameters in real-time becomes reality and is paving the way for more
secure and adaptive vehicles.
The benefits of this approach extend beyond just the driver—by monitoring vital parameters the
system can help to prevent accidents caused by impaired driving. In addition, such monitoring can
provide a layer of reassurance and care for the occupants, enabling a safer and more comfortable
journey. By integrating these features, the vehicle becomes not only a means of transport, but also a
guardian of well-being, helping to reduce risks and enhance the driving experience.
trinamiX and Continental will explore the technical challenges and solutions behind implementing
monitoring systems to enhance safety in vehicles. Attendees will generate insights into a
transformation that is already underway: Together, they talk about the next generation of in-cabin
sensing by introducing their latest jointly developed innovation – the Invisible Biometrics Sensing
Display.
