Smart Eye’s Commercial Vehicle (CV) Alert driver support system has successfully passed the homologation process with Solaris.
This certification confirms compliance with the EU’s General Safety Regulation (GSR), which mandates the integration of advanced drowsiness detection technology in all new commercial vehicles, including buses and trucks.
Solaris is among the first bus manufacturers to obtain certification for Smart Eye’s AIS CV Alert system.
This system, launched in October 2023, uses AI and computer vision to detect early signs of driver drowsiness, providing an in-cabin solution that enhances road safety.
Smart Eye partnered with Skymatik, an automation and integration solutions provider, to implement the AIS CV Alert system at Solaris, achieving full compliance with EU safety standards.
Arkadiusz Cierniak, Senior Design Engineer at Solaris said:Working with Smart Eye and their AIS CV Alert system has allowed us to efficiently meet homologation requirements and further our commitment to enhancing safety in public transportation. Their technology has been critical in helping us ensure our vehicles comply with the latest EU safety standards, further establishing Solaris as a leading provider of safe, modern transportation solutions in Europe.
Looking ahead, Smart Eye’s AIS system is also adaptable to future safety regulations, including the upcoming GSR mandate on camera-based driver distraction detection, effective from July 2024.
Carl Bergendal, Sales Director AIS at Smart Eye said:This successful certification with Solaris highlights the strength of Smart Eye's AIS CV Alert system in meeting the rigorous GSR requirements. As the GSR requirements drive rising demand for advanced driver support solutions, Smart Eye is well-positioned to extend our reach to more commercial vehicle manufacturers across Europe.
