Dealing With Deadly Microsleeps

Dangerous conditions such as microsleep, fatigue, distraction, and mobile phone usage were often detected too late. Incident reporting was not real time, visual evidence was frequently unavailable for investigation, and there was no automated mechanism to warn drivers immediately when unsafe behavior occurred. These gaps elevated the risk of accidents, asset damage, operational downtime, and potential harm to personnel.
