3.3 Alarm Parameters

Speed Range

The minimum and maximum speeds necessary to trigger an alarm.
For example, if the Speed Range of a Driver Fatigue Alarm is set to 60km/h – 200km/h, the alarm will not be triggered if the vehicle is traveling at speeds under 60km/h or over 200km/h.
How long the alarm beeps + how long the tile shows an icon for in the cabin.

Duration of alarm

During the specified effective duration, only 1 alarm of the type selected will occur.
For example, if the effective duration of a Driver Fatigue Alarm is set to 10 seconds, and the driver sets of the alarm at 10:05:12, regardless of the actions of the driver, the Driver Fatigue Alarm will not be triggered again until 10:05:22. This does not impact the triggering of any other alarm during this period.

Sensitivity

How long an action must occur for the alarm to be triggered.
For example, the Sensitivity of a Driver Distraction Alarm is set to 5 seconds. In order for the alarm to be triggered, the driver must be displaying signs of distraction for at least 5 seconds in order for the alarm to be triggered.

Judgement

How the SharpAi judges actions.
For example, the Judgement of a Driver Distraction Alarm is set to Left + Right + Up + Down. This will capture head movements in these directions and assign them as signs of distraction. If the Driver Distraction Alarm is set to Up + Down, it would not assign Left + Right head movements as signs of distraction.

 

4. Best Practice

Rollout Best Practice

Step One
Educate drivers on the function of the SharpAi, what alarms are available, and what triggers these alarms. Demonstrate the use of specific pieces of equipment, like the tile iconography and the panic button.

Step Two
Identify the highest risk activity within the business and implement low sensitivity alarms in specific areas.

If the business has issues with tail gating, put in place only alarms relating to distance monitoring (Forward Collision, Too Close Distance). Give them a long effective duration time, to limit the alarms in the cabin, and inform drivers of the specific focus on this risk.

Step Three
Increase the sensitivity of the in-place alarm(s)

Over time, decrease the effective duration and increase sensitivity in the Forward Collison Alarm. Engage drivers with frequent alarms in constructive discussion and explain how the alarm is triggered.

Step Four
Identify the second highest risk activity, and implement the associated alarm. Follow the same guidelines in setting the alarm at a low sensitivity (where available) and a high effective duration time. After some time, increase sensitivity and decrease the effective duration.

Step Five
Implement each remaining alarm – notifying drivers as they are put in place.
