OPERATOR DROWSINESS DETECTION IN MINES

摘要

A system for determining a drowsiness state of an operator of a movable object comprises means for determining a proximity of the movable object to another object, and a control unit for generating a collision warning dependent on the determined proximity or data derived therefrom. The control unit is adapted to determine the drowsiness state of the operator subject to the determined proximity or the data derived therefrom, or subject to an input from a monitoring unit for monitoring a response of the operator to the collision warning.
