What are Driver and Occupant Monitoring Systems?
DOMS are advanced technologies integrated into vehicles to monitor driver attention and passenger behavior. These systems use AI-based algorithms along with cameras, infrared sensors, and facial recognition tools to gather and analyze data in real time.
Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) typically assess:
Eye-tracking to gauge focus
Facial recognition to detect fatigue or distraction
Head position monitoring to identify lack of attention
Drowsiness and distraction detection to issue timely alerts
On the other hand, Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMS) focus on:
Occupant presence detection (for automatic airbag deployment)
Seat belt monitoring
Child detection (particularly in rear seats)
Passenger behavior analysis for comfort, entertainment, or safety intervention
These systems work in unison to elevate both driver performance and passenger protection, especially in semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles.
