Overview

See, Mitigate, and Manage Lapses in Driver Attention

Fatigued and distracted equipment operators can pose a severe risk to themselves and others. The consequences can be costly, even fatal. The Cat® Detect Driver Safety System (DSS) is an in-cab detection technology that can help identify and address fatigue and distraction events, enhancing operator safety.

Benefits

Supplements Driver Attention

The Driver Safety System tracks facial features and head orientation to detect when a driver may be losing attention, mitigating potential risks.

Helps To Mitigate Risk

In-cab audio and seat vibration alerts help drivers regain focus. Events are automatically captured and transmitted for off-board analysis and review.

Data Driven Accountability

Get near-real-time alerts for attention events with 24/7 event monitoring by Caterpillar's Monitoring Center. Use data to make informed decisions for continuous safety improvements.

Features At A Glance

Paying attention is closely tied to the cognitive workload.
If the workload is too high or low, focus can falter, leading to inattentional blindness and increased susceptibility to attention lapses.
Many of us have experienced a momentary lapse of attention while driving, whether due to fatigue or distraction - it is a natural phenomenon and a result of being human.
While distraction and fatigue may go unnoticed, the consequences can be life-changing.

The Cat Detect DSS system is Intended for hauling applications where fatigue or distraction may threaten driver attention.
DSS uses artificial intelligence to detect physiological signs of fatigue or distraction.
When an inattention event is detected, the system nudges the operator back to attention by sound and seat vibration.
The DSS system captures event data, and transmits a secure, encrypted event data file to Caterpillar’s 24/7 monitoring center.
Cat’s trained safety advisors confirm, categorize, and classify each event and initiate your company’s risk intervention plan.
DSS has been designed for easy installation on equipment with closed cabs – ideal for mixed fleet use.

IT DOESN’T JUST KEEP A RECORD - DSS is like an early warning system that provides actionable insights and intervenes with audible and seat vibration alerts.
IT PRIORITIZES DRIVER FOCUS - DSS has dashboard mounting, which offers unparalleled monitoring accuracy while being unobtrusive to the operator.
GAIN INVALUABLE INSIGHTS - DSS provides invaluable data insights through remote monitoring, analysis and assistance.
INDUSTRY-LEADING ALGORITHMS - Its algorithms have been refined over 20+ years using 9 billion miles of naturalistic driving data.
MAINTAINING OPERATOR PRIVACY - DSS is not a video surveillance or CCTV system. All video data remains onboard the unit unless a safety threshold is breached. Only then does the system transmit data offboard, helping maintain operator privacy. Supervisors cannot use it to survey operators remotely; they will only be alerted when necessary.

DSS has been designed for light and medium duty commercial/ industrial applications (machines under 100 mt).
The system is compatible with any enclosed cab machine, including:
     + Articulated Trucks
     + Earthmoving Equipment
     + Heavy-Duty Service Trucks
     + Light Duty Commercial Trucks
     + Quarry Trucks
