The domestic auto industry was promised the latest development, which, among other things, should reduce the accident rate on the roads through the fault of the driver by at least half. The Skytracking Transport Security system is planned to be introduced into vehicles already in 2022.
The developers call their new product a "cognitive transport security system" and emphasize the broadest possibilities of its use. In its work, Skytracking Transport Security uses machine learning methods, neural networks, a complex of sensors and geolocation data. The system was created by the Russian company "Skytrack" within the framework of the National Technology Initiative.
Strictly speaking, the applied function of Skytracking Transport Security is to analyze the driver's behavior and warn him in case of a danger of an accident. With the help of sensors, electronics will be able to analyze a person's well-being, the moments when he is distracted from the road (by the phone, food, etc.), recognize signs of fatigue, etc. In addition, Skytracking Transport Security will be able to keep an eye on both the driving style and the technical condition of the vehicle. The collected data array will be able to analyze the electronics in real time and, in which case, issue warnings to the driver.
According to the calculations of the creators, the widespread use of Skytracking Transport Security can reduce the number of accidents caused by the driver by about 60%. However, Skytrack believes that the range of capabilities of the system is somewhat wider. For example, the system already includes the functions of dispatching and online tracking, which will make it possible to compile a kind of "emergency ratings" of drivers and accumulate statistics on problem routes and road sections for subsequent analysis.
According to NTInews, next year the patented technology will begin to turn into a working system, and in 3-5 years it may become a standard part of cars, trucks, and public transport.
