Driver Safety System (DSS)

Cat Detect - Driver Safety System (DSS)

Overview

Fatigued and distracted equipment operators can pose a severe risk to themselves and others. The consequences can be costly, even fatal. The Cat® Detect Driver Safety System (DSS) is an in-cab detection technology that can help identify and address fatigue and distraction events, enhancing operator safety.

Benefits & Features

The Hidden Safety Risk

          
    • Paying attention is closely tied to the cognitive workload. 
      •     
    • If the workload is too high or low, focus can falter, leading to inattentional blindness and increased susceptibility to attention lapses.
      •     
    • Many of us have experienced a momentary lapse of attention while driving, whether due to fatigue or distraction - it is a natural phenomenon and a result of being human. 
      •     
    • While distraction and fatigue may go unnoticed, the consequences can be life-changing.

How It Works

          
    • The Cat Detect DSS system is Intended for hauling applications where fatigue or distraction may threaten driver attention.
      •     
    • DSS uses artificial intelligence to detect physiological signs of fatigue or distraction.
      •     
    • When an inattention event is detected, the system nudges the operator back to attention by sound and seat vibration.    
      •     
    • The DSS system captures event data, and transmits a secure, encrypted event data file to Caterpillar’s 24/7 monitoring center.
      •     
    • Cat’s trained safety advisors confirm, categorize, and classify each event and initiate your company’s risk intervention plan.
      •     
    • DSS has been designed for easy installation on equipment with closed cabs – ideal for mixed fleet use.

System Advantages

          
    • IT DOESN’T JUST KEEP A RECORD - DSS is like an early warning system that provides actionable insights and intervenes with audible and seat vibration alerts.
      •     
    • IT PRIORITIZES DRIVER FOCUS - DSS has dashboard mounting, which offers unparalleled monitoring accuracy while being unobtrusive to the operator.
      •     
    • GAIN INVALUABLE INSIGHTS - DSS provides invaluable data insights through remote monitoring, analysis and assistance.
      •     
    • INDUSTRY-LEADING ALGORITHMS - Its algorithms have been refined over 20+ years using  9 billion miles of naturalistic driving data.
      •     
    • MAINTAINING OPERATOR PRIVACY - DSS is not a video surveillance or CCTV system. All video data remains onboard the unit unless a safety threshold is breached. Only then does the system transmit data offboard, helping maintain operator privacy. Supervisors cannot use it to survey operators remotely; they will only be alerted when necessary.
