Harita, IITM Develop Intelliseat to Detect Driver Fatigue

In order to reduce road accidents due to drive fatigue, Harita Seating Systems Limited (HSSL), along with Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM), has developed ‘Intelliseat’, an Internet of Things (IoT) device that monitors the performance and behaviour of the driver.

To develop the new seat, HSSL had joined hands with IITM 2 years ago. Intelliseat operates independently and can be used for in-vehicle information of status as well as help a central tracking by fleet owners. It can also be used for driver training and fleet risk evaluation, which would eventually have a bearing on the overall fleet insurance and ownership cost.
