Very often the cause of accidents is carelessness of road users, poor road surface, alcohol intoxication and other factors. And if most of them can be prevented or somehow prevent the sudden deterioration of the condition of the driver to predict will fail. Or will it? Thanks to the efforts of Toyota in the future, you may be smart auto which will monitor the driver and warn him and others in case of danger.
According to the publication Science Daily, the world famous company-automaker Toyota turned to the experts from the University of Michigan (USA) for the collaboration in the development of programs that will protect drivers. It is expected that it will integrate into future car Corporation. Analyzing the heart rhythm of the driver and a number of other parameters, the program will be able to predict the development of myocardial infarction. As stated by one of the representatives of the University of Michigan
“We talked with representatives of Toyota and they showed us that the reason of accidents due to medical reasons has a very large percentage of all accidents occurring. And one of the main diseases that lead to accidents are cardiovascular disease and in particular myocardial infarction. Therefore, to develop a system that could monitor the state of health of the driver and alerting in case of danger, it is extremely important for all of us. Data analysis and elaboration of potential solutions it will take us about 7 months. Then we develop algorithms for scanning and create software. The final results will be available by 2020”.
