We never knew they ever existed. We never cared about their struggles to reach for their dreams that suddenly turned into their loved ones' worst nightmares. Death robbed our chance to meet these nameless faces included in about 1.2 million people worldwide who die annually because of road traffic accidents including car crashes.
As part of Toyota Motor Corporation's (TMC) commitment to traffic safety, the company will launch another driver-monitoring breakthrough that is expected to reduce collision-related damages. TMC’s Pre-crash Safety system now has the ability to determine whether a driver's eyes are properly open.
Logically, a driver's vision plays a vital role in reducing risks of vehicular accidents simply because they're the ones who call the shots in the streets. With TMC's Pre-crash System eye-monitoring feature, the position of the driver's upper and lower eyelids will be determined using a driver-monitoring camera and image-processing computer. While a starter sets off the car's internal combustion engine in order to power itself. This eye-monitoring feature was designed to give signals to the driver prior to a car collision threat by determining the driver's position and eye condition.
This innovation - the world's first ever - is part of TMC's sustainable mobility scheme with the intent of encouraging traffic safety initiatives that carry the following advocacies:
- the development of even safer vehicles and technologies based on TMC's Integrated Safety Management Concept
- participation in the creation of a safe traffic environment
- activities designed to educate people in traffic safety, thereby contributing to the complete elimination of traffic casualties, which can be viewed as the ultimate hope of a society that values mobility.
TMC's pre-crash system eye-monitoring feature will be available in vehicle models that will be launched soon. Hopefully, before time runs out. Before another nameless face passes our way again, never to return.
