The Tiredness Warning System Prevents Crashes

Fatigue is one of the most important causes of car crashes, although several car manufacturers developed new technologies supposed to help the driver minimize the risk of accidents. Most products are usually based on high-end cameras and in-car mounted sensors which track your moves and your eyes' blinking.

Based on this information, the devices release audio and visual warnings which usually require driver's reaction. In addition, if the driver does not respond to the first notifications, some more advanced technologies could brake the car or activate other safety equipment. However, a more efficient solution may come from a non-carmaker that designed a watch-like product capable of providing valuable information regarding the fatigue level.

The Tiredness Warning System is a tiny gadget that looks similar to a regular watch but with more advanced features. Worn on the arm just like a normal watch and working with a special water-based conductivity gel, the gadget could provide vital information regarding your reaction time and fatigue level. If needed, the device releases a voice alert which requires you to press a certain button.

In case the driver does not push the requested button, the Tiredness Warning System vibrates to attract your attention. If there's still no response, it produces a low electrical impulse which could even wake you up if you fell asleep. One of the main advantages of this gadget is that it does not require a sensor or a camera mounted inside the car in order to work properly and it can be easily used while driving or while working.

Beside all of these features, the Tiredness Warning System can also act as a regular digital watch even if its large screen also displays a large number of other details.

Unfortunately, the device is a bit expensive as the whole package retails for no less than 600 bucks. However, taking into account that there's not even a single mass-production car equipped with such a technology, buying a Tiredness Warning System may be a very smart investment.
