RFID Wristbands for Fatigued Drivers

Filed in archive Implementation on May 14, 2006

Are you one of those drivers who suffer from driver fatigue now and then? If the answer is yes then you need the RFID wristband designed by Daniel Ruffle. It is a flexible rubber device which uses motion in combination with reaction time for determining whether one is suffering from driver fatigue ort not.

When the driver is in the car, the device communicates with an RFID tag positioned in the car and starts detecting whether the driver is tired or not. The wristband can be bent in order to fit the wrist and has memory in order to stay in position and it ensures that it doesn't falls off the wrist.

It seems to be a great application since a number of accidents tends to happen when the driver is not alert. I hope in the future we would see lesser number of road accidents.
