Dermalog and Rheinmetall join forces for increased vehicle security |
|
| Düsseldorf/Hamburg, 24 May, 2022 (APA/OTS) - With the founding of the joint venture Rheinmetall Dermalog SensorTec GmbH, the technology group Rheinmetall and the biometrics company DERMALOG are aiming to bring enhanced safety to road traffic. The objectives of the partnership include the development of a next-generation driver monitoring system. |
Germany's largest biometrics company, DERMALOG Identification
Systems GmbH, and the technology group Rheinmetall AG have entered
into a new joint venture together: Rheinmetall Dermalog SensorTec
GmbH. In future, this new company will supply the most innovative
biometric technologies to vehicle manufacturers.
One of the aims of this new partnership is to develop a driver
monitoring system that recognizes when drivers are distracted and
then warns them accordingly. Distractions of any kind, such as those
caused by smartphones, can have fatal consequences when driving a
vehicle. 100,000 collisions a year, resulting in 500 deaths and
25,000 injured road users: this is Germany's dismal track record for
accidents caused by mobile phones at the wheel, according to a
recent study by the "besmart-mobile" initiative. Another study
carried out by the insurance group "Allianz" found that distracted
driving is now a more common cause of fatal accidents than drink
driving.
So-called "driver monitoring" involves the continuous,
computer-assisted observation of the driver. Using various cameras
and sensors, the system detects any causes of distraction such as
the checking of a smartphone or fatigue and then warns the driver,
or - when fitted in vehicles with autonomous control - intervenes
independently in emergency situations.
Within the framework of the joint venture, DERMALOG and Rheinmetall
will be combining their expertise in biometrics, artificial
intelligence and radar technology to develop a powerful driver
monitoring system. As well as keeping an eye on the driver, the
system will also monitor the entire cabin interior. The solution
should therefore detect other risks too, for example in cases when a
baby or small child is left behind in the vehicle.
It is envisaged that object recognition will also be possible with
driver monitoring by Rheinmetall Dermalog SensorTec. In future,
users of car-sharing services will be informed quickly and
conveniently via an app if they have forgotten any objects in the
car.
"The joint venture with Rheinmetall AG is now set to introduce
biometrics into the field of automotive applications. The technology
can offer real added value for vehicle safety and even has the
potential to save lives when applied to effective driver
monitoring," says Günther Mull, Founder and CEO of DERMALOG.
"This joint venture is an important step forward in our
transformation strategy that will allow us, in future, to offer
cutting-edge technology in the fields of monitoring, authentication
and safety to customers in the automotive and industrial sectors,"
says Rene Gansauge, CEO Sensors and Actuators Division at
Rheinmetall.
