The research question

Is the driver sufficiently alert — and can we intervene before fatigue, drowsiness or a microsleep becomes a critical event?

Awareness Panel continuously monitors alertness state and the level of fatigue, drowsiness and microsleep risk using wearable EEG. The system is designed to detect deterioration during operation, escalate preventive alerts and give the driver and safety team time to act before the condition becomes critical. Public Neuro Garage materials do not display the underlying third-party technology brand, product name, logo or proprietary performance claims.

ParticipantsCargo, mining, passenger, corporate and interprovincial drivers, as well as other safety-critical vehicle operators.
Minimum sampleOperational deployment; individual monitoring with fleet-level aggregation.
DurationRoute / shift duration. Continuous monitoring follows the approved operational window and hardware configuration.

Technology configuration

Measurement follows the task

The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.

01 · Neuro monitoringWearable EEG

Continuous neurophysiological monitoring of vigilance / alertness without relying on a camera or lighting conditions.

02 · Driver interfaceReal-time processing + progressive alerts

Signal-quality verification before use, followed by auditory, visual and haptic / vibration warnings according to risk level.

03 · Safety / HSE layerFleet risk dashboard

Event history, risk evolution, recurring patterns, shifts and higher-risk time windows.

Typical protocol · Road Safety

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Verify device fit and signal quality before operation.

02

Continuously process the EEG signal while the driver performs the real route / shift.

03

Track deterioration in alertness and identify fatigue, drowsiness and events compatible with microsleep.

04

Escalate preventive warnings using the configured visual, auditory and haptic alert channels.

05

When risk becomes critical, activate the client-defined safe-stop / rest protocol and log the event.

06

Aggregate timestamps, monitored time, recurrence and risk windows in the Safety / HSE dashboard for preventive management.

What the client can change with the evidence

The study is designed to translate observed behavior into concrete operational, people, design or risk-management decisions.

01Identify drivers, shifts, routes or time windows with recurring fatigue risk
02Trigger the client-defined safe-stop / rest process before a critical event
03Adjust breaks and fatigue-management protocols
