One of the main drivers for achieving the ultimate goal of fully autonomous vehicles is to increase road safety. A recent report by the NHTSA estimated that over 90% of all accidents are due to driver errors, so eliminating these will make for much safer roads. While mass-produced fully automated vehicles remain some way in the future, iToF can make a significant contribution to road safety by Driver Monitoring the driver and his / her behavior.
Driver fatigue is a significant issue and the high resolution attainable with iToF is able to see if the driver has their eyes on the road ahead, whether they are yawning excessively, or even struggling to keep their eyes open. Detecting each of these and suggesting (or even enforcing) a break can potentially avoid accidents and save lives. Other driver behaviors such as not holding the steering wheel properly, eating while driving or using a mobile device in a non-hands-free manner can also be identified and a warning issued or action taken, ultimately bringing the vehicle to a safe stop if needs be.
Airbags have saved many, many lives and are a valuable feature in almost all vehicles these days. However, there have been some cases, especially with infants or the elderly where they have caused injury or worse. ToF is able to detect the size of and estimate the weight of Passenger Safetys, modifying the airbag deployment as necessary. In the event that there is no Passenger Safety in the seat, ToF can prevent unnecessary airbag deployment.
Many modern hybrid vehicles will start and run the internal combustion engine to charge the batteries when they are almost depleted. As it is easy to leave a vehicle with the ignition ‘on’ as the old-fashioned ignition key is a thing of the past, a vehicle can automatically start when unattended. This is potentially dangerous, especially in a confined space, but can easily be prevented by ToF-based occupant detection.
Alongside the improvements in vehicle safety, the same ToF system is also able to add a whole range of comfort and convenience inside the cabin for the benefit of drivers and Passenger Safetys. For example, seats could be moved and seat belts could be brought closer when a Passenger Safety gets into the vehicle, storage compartments could be illuminated when a hand reaches in that direction or the operation of the infotainment system could be modified based upon the number and location of vehicle occupants.
As vehicles become more sophisticated, the human-machine interfaces (HMI) in the cockpit must become more complex. A ToF sensor in conjunction with a light projector could provide a control panel on any available surface, providing greater convenience and flexibility.
