Harken wakes you up to avoid drowsy driving!

Harken, the new belt that wakes you up to keep you alive. It is estimated that 100,000 accidents per year are due to fatigue, and this only in the European Union. Update on Harken.

A general awareness

Harken, from the gray matter of Institute of biomechanics of Valence (IBV) is a consortium, since everyone agrees that tiredness is still a part too much important accidents of the road. Today, many processes are already in place, such as detection of the lines white and trajectory control, or smart health connected cars, here Harken plays on the prevention of the risk of drowsiness. A solution completely integrated into the vehicle thanks to its seat and its belt. Amazing and really useful.

Innovative and useful technological advances

The Biomechanics Institute of Valence therefore innovated with Harken.How does it work?It is "simple", the belt detects, thanks to sensors integrated both in the belt and in the seat, the pace cardiac as well as the pace respiratory.Why ?Well, because in fact, before that symptoms appear physically, the tired affects upstream on our pace cardiac and our frequency respiratory. This is why as soon as Harken detects a variation corresponding to the warning signs of drowsiness, he warns the driver with a alarm like what he go doze off before long, and even if he is not apparently tired, he offers a session of rest. The alert is given on your mobile phone by a loud sound (this is not a notification, otherwise it would be counterproductive). A revolution in road safety.

Soon everywhere?

Even if we don't know more, we could hope that such a system will be implemented in all the Car on sale in a few years while waiting to see if the system is proven and that dealers are interested in. Where awareness campaigns fail (except the Australian ones, they are so trashy), the engineers catch up. In the meantime, let's drive in R5! I'm really going to have to change my car…
