Driver and Occupant Monitoring Systems (DMS, OMS)

DMS and OMS, also referred to as cabin monitoring systems, are critical to combat driving distractions and improve safety within the vehicle. DMS/OMS uses sensors to analyze driver alertness, provide warning to the driver if needed, and apply the brakes or alternative autonomous vehicle steering.

Cabin monitoring design can be categorized into three key subsystems: processing, camera/sensor, and emitter. The system pairs an infrared 2D global shutter sensor with infrared LEDs/VCSELs to capture high quality images outside the visible light spectrum. A software algorithm layer ties all hardware inputs together to determine various driver and occupant states, such as drowsiness and distraction. Analog Devices offers all of these safety solutions with high integration and optimization to streamline your design needs.
