Commercial vehicle active-safety system
DSM fatigue · BSD blind-spot · ADAS warning
An AI-camera-based active-safety system for commercial fleets: driver fatigue/distraction monitoring, plus blind-spot detection and lane-departure and forward-collision warning, with in-cab alerts and fleet-platform reporting.

Challenges
- Driver fatigue and distraction are leading causes of commercial-vehicle accidents, and dash cameras only help after the fact.
- New Forward's active-safety system centres on an in-cab AI camera (DSM) that analyses the driver's face and eyes in real time, detecting fatigue (eye closure, micro-sleep, yawning), distraction (head turning, looking up/down, drinking), smoking, phone use, blocking sunglasses, unfastened seatbelt, driver absence, and camera obstruction.
Solution Design
- Infrared fill light with eye-safe strobe keeps detection working in a fully dark cab.
- It can be extended with BSD blind-spot detection (people and vehicles alongside the vehicle) and ADAS forward warning — lane-departure (LDW), forward-collision (FCW), pedestrian-collision (PCW) and headway monitoring (HWM) — plus an AI reversing camera.
- A mobile DVR (MDVR) aggregates the cameras with GPS and 4G.
Core Benefits
- On a trigger, the system first warns the driver in-cab with voice and audible-visual alerts (a Cantonese alarm option is available), then uploads the event, location and video to the fleet cloud for review, verification and compliance reporting.

Key features
Distraction & risky behaviour
Detects head turning, looking away, drinking, smoking and phone use.
Seatbelt · absence · obstruction
Alerts on unfastened seatbelt, driver absence, blocking sunglasses and camera obstruction.
BSD blind-spot detection
Side/top-mounted cameras detect people and vehicles in side blind spots.
ADAS forward warning
Lane-departure (LDW), forward-collision (FCW), pedestrian (PCW) and headway (HWM) warnings.
AI reversing camera
Detects people, vehicles and two-wheelers when reversing.
In-cab alerts & fleet platform
Voice/audible-visual warnings (Cantonese option) plus MDVR + GPS event reporting to the cloud.
FAQ
What driving behaviours can it detect?
Fatigue (eye closure/micro-sleep/yawning), distraction (head turning/looking up-down/drinking), smoking, phone use, blocking sunglasses, unfastened seatbelt, driver absence and camera obstruction.
Can DSM, BSD and ADAS be installed together?
Yes. DSM monitors the driver, BSD watches side blind spots and ADAS watches the road ahead; all can be integrated through one MDVR and combined per vehicle type and budget.
Privacy compliance?
Retention and privacy policies are defined per deployment and local regulatory requirements.
