Optalert Australia Pty Ltd

Journey management and control has become the norm amongst business leaders in safety. Their need to ensure the safety of their people during a journey is leading to overall improved safety for all road users; moreover the ability to quantify this risk is why they use OPTALERT alertness monitoring technology.

For those driving trucks on the open highway or operating heavy machinery on mine sites, one momentary lapse of consciousness and the results can be disastrous. Even pilots get to push the auto pilot switch and take a break – not the case with professional drivers. The multi-award winning OPTALERT Alertness Monitoring System is the only real-time safety system in the world that detects the early onset of drowsines.

OPTALERT alertness monitoring driver glasses measure the velocity of a driver’s eyelid 500 times per second using unique light pulsing technology.

This reading is translated into an alertness score visible on the drivers dash, which warns drivers via an auditory alarm anywhere up to 30 minutes prior to the onset of dangerous levels of drowsiness setting in.

When combined with the subscription based OPTALERT FATIGUE RISK PROFILER, the benefits multiply and extend beyond the individual driver by making visible in real time via the internet the alertness level of an entire driving workforce to a central control room located anywhere in the world.                   

Ultimately, OPTALERT empowers people and the companies they work for with independent  scientifically validated technology to monitor, measure and manage fatigue in the workplace – increasing productivity, mitigating risk and saving lives.  Time and time again we see our customer’s achieving an overall reduction in the instance of accidents and near misses as result of OPTALERT, simply because it engages the driver with the sole purpose of protecting the user, not the machine. This critical distinction sees an overall ripple effect on that person’s conscious approach to safety.
