1. Provides early warning for driver fatigue and distraction.

In addition to detecting driver fatigue and make an early warning, drowsiness detection sensor MR688 can also make alarms to avoid accidents caused by distractions while driving: talking to passengers, bowing head, gazing around or spending considerable amount of time in operating audio and navigation systems.

2. Distinguishes real doze and fake sleep(such as sleep in opening eyes), effectively reducing false warning.

The patented mesh membrane pupil detection technology will make sure that every fatigue driving can be detected and reported immediately even the driver still opens eyes during fatigue driving.

3. Excellent detection ability for glasses:can be used with glasses and sunglasses.

Excellent detection ability for glasses. Driver can wear regular glasses or non-reflection light sunglasses, the drowsiness detection system MR688 can always make a correct analysis of the driver’s fatigue state.

4. Non-contact detection.

5. Suits for all skins and all vehicles.

The advanced face recognition technology system will identify any human face. It works with all types of skin colors: yellow, white or black. With the pupil detection technology, MR688 will make a warning of an impending accident caused by driver fatigue or distraction

6. Easy to be installed and used.

MR688 has a small and compact size, which hardly influences the driver’s view of sight. It can be easily installed on dash board.

7. Works around all day, under any weather.

The vehicle safety system MR688 works around all day and all weather. Whether in daytime or dark nights, rainy or snowy day, the system can always make a correct analysis of the driver’s fatigue state.

The power supply can operate from 9V to 36V wide voltage range, which is suitable for both 12V and 24V car batteries, and also has a good peak-voltage protection solution.

9.Very low power consumption.

In the 12V car battery cases, the average electric current is less than 100mA, while for the 24V car battery, the average electric current is about 60mA, which is about the same level compared to battery’s self-leakage. Therefore there is almost no power consumption in this case.

10. Can be integrated with fleet management system.

Driver Fatigue Warning System has an attractive appearance and a compact size. It is less than one third size of a 4.3-inch Navigator and will not block the driver’s vision. With a universal rotating base it is easy to install and adjust. You can put it left, middle or right above of the dashboard. MR688 looks like a camera, but it is an integration of high-end infrared cameras, microprocessor, memory modules and alarm system inside.

All components can work between -45 degrees to +85 degrees and the key devices are available packaged in super small size package with automotive-grade BGA standard. The device is made of environmentally friendly materials and are lead-free. It passes CE and FCC. Until now MR688 has achieved more than 10 independent patents.

Work Principle

Drivers normally aren't aware of fatigue driving before the actual accident happens. One of the most important functions of driver fatigue alarm system is to let the drivers understand they are actually in fatigue driving and increase their alertness level. Once the drowsiness detection system detects the driver is under fatigue driving, it will send out a sharp and loud sounds alarm immediately to the driver in cab based on pupil detection technology.At the same time, it will transmit the fatigue signal to the gps fleet tracking system, then the manager will know the driver's situation in office and take some actions to avoid the accident happened, in this way, they can realize the better fleet management.

When the fatigue warning appears as mentioned above, the driver should pull over immediately to have a rest to avoid accident. If the driver continues to drive without any rest, the anti sleep alarm mr688 will remind the driver to have a rest with making the sharp and loud sound whenever necessary.

After the drowsiness detection system is connected to power supply for 2 seconds, the green light will flash for 1 second. The driver fatigue alarm system;is started. If it is at night, you will notice that there is some dark red lighting for the ultra-red LED. In the first 30 seconds, the system detects the driver's position and location and analyzes status. It does not make warnings at this stage. After the driver has been driving for more than 30 seconds, the drowsiness detection sensor will make warnings. However, once power is on, the system will indicate if the driver's eyes are open. If the green light is on, the driver's eyes are open. If the green light is off, it means that the driver closes eyes or driver is not in the detecting range. You can adjust the camera's position depending on if the green light is on or not.

Driver fatigue alarm system MR688 can detect and analyze the driver's fatigue driving state prior falling into sleep. Normally, driver gets less and less sensitive to lighting around before falling into a sleepy state, and the intelligent software of MR688 is keeping detecting and analyzing and will make a warning whenever necessary with a sharp and loud sound to awake driver. Driver should stop immediately and have a rest.

Drowsiness detection system MR688 can also make some friendly reminder of driver's distraction driving to avoid accident. I.e. the driver does not focus on driving and talk to passengers. The driver bows head and gazes around or spends considerable amount of time of operating audio and navigation systems.

When vehicle safety system MR688 has detected that driver is in fatigue or distraction driving, the system will make a early warning sound. It issues three long beeps in six seconds, It takes about 8 seconds for the driver to enter unconscious state and the pupil will become smaller and smaller. The system is fully capable of start the alarm before it becomes dangerous. The right side photo is the identification process for driver with a pairs of glasses.

Besides the sounds alarming in cab, MR688 also can integrate with the fleet management system(gps tracking system) to output the fatigue signal or image, when the alarming happened, the manager also will know the driver's situation by the output signal.

About Glasses

If the driver wears the glasses with frame, in case the frame ward off driver’s eyes, the glasses should be pushed a little bit more up on the nose, or install the monitor at a lower position, we suggest to wear the glasses without the frame or with big lens.

For people who wear a pair of deep color sunglasses, they can install the monitor at a closer position, we suggest drivers to wear non-reflection light sunglasses.

MR688 can detect at any conditions:

Suit for all types of vehicles:

1. Is the infrared light harmful to my eyes and body?

No at all, the average light outlet power is less than 0.2W, and mostly died down when spreading in a 30°angle and meter distance, less than 1/10 of indoor nature light, just because the infrared light can’t been seen when mixed with other lights, you don’t aware the existing. And we also did the test by the SGS, it is approved no harm to the eyes or the body.

2. I’m worry about too much noisy alarms.

Don’t worry about this, the device has different sensitivities levels, each level it can quickly detect the real sleepy or absent minded condition, only the alarming time is different for looking around and normal eyes closing. If you don’t want them too much noisy alarms, you can set the sensitivity in lower level, if so, it will spend more time to trigger the alarm, nobody will do it so long when driving on the highway, you just need to set the sensitivity to the level which suitable for you.

3. If I must drive under fatigue status, is this unit useful?

Yes, some truck drivers always drive under fatigue status, some people used to dozy when driving in on the highway, or if you have sleepless night but must drive today. MR688 will detect the fatigue driving, giving out alarms in the instant of dozing off to wake you up. But we still suggest you don’t drive in fatigue status and have enough rest.

4. Is it difficult to install?

No, it’s very easy, just stick the main unit in front of the driver, and connect power from cigarette socket or vehicle power.

5. Can it connection to the vehicle power supply.

For our MR688 Commercial Professional Version and MR688 RS232 Version, the power supply is by 5pins or 4pins cable, it can directly connect to the vehicle power supply.

6. Will it influence my sight?Did I need to look at it?

No, it’s much smaller than a GPS navigator, and you don’t need to stare at it, just leave it alone after you have adjusted the angle toward your eyes.

7. Why the device don’t alarm when I closed my eyes?

Firstly, you need to make sure that the device is on the proper installation position, which means the led light is always green on.
Secondly, the device need to recognize the driver’s face in the first 10-20seconds after power on, it can’t be triggered in this period.
Thirdly, the MR688 has the alarm sensitivity, the default alarm sensitivity is 2-3seconds, it will alarm after 2-3seconds that you closed your eyes.

8. Why the device not as sensitive as the beginning?

The lens is dirty, please use cotton bud to clear it, if necessary, use some alcohol.

9. It just doesn’t work at all, what’s the problem?

The system require 12V power and instant electric current 100-200mA, please check your power supply, if the voltage is low, or electric current is not enough, the device may have green light on, but not alarm. It works with both 12V and 24V, fit for the gas car and diesel vehicle. It has good peak-voltage protection measures.

10. Is it workable if I wear the sunglasses:

It depends on the sunglasses types, please kindly check the following detail information
A. Color film mirror sunglasses, can detect, but not so accurate.
B. Silvery film mirror sunglasses, can not detect completely
C. Non-reflection light sunglasses (including black or tea color sunglasses), detection is ok, can detect
D. Polarized light sunglasses, can detect, but not so accurate.

11. Can the system integrate with the GPS tracking system, so I can see the detail information on the center in office?

Yes, for our MR688 professional version and MR688-RS232 version, you can integrate the MR688 with the GPS tracking system to output the fatigue/distraction signal, then the manager can know the detail driving situation of the driver.

12. We are the passenger transportation company, if we installed the MR688 on our bus, the sounds alarming will affect our passengers. Is it any way to solve this problem?

Yes, we can solve the problem. For our MR688 professional version, it has a vibration cushion for optional. You can buy our vibration cushion to connect with the MR688 and turn off the MR688 sounds alarming. When the driver fatigue, the MR688 will not send out the sounds to affect the passengers, but it will shake to wake up the driver. Then we also can realize the function to avoid the accident.

13. Can it be used on the heavy machine, like the mining truck?

Yes, our MR688 can be used on the mining truck. The MR688 already installed on many big mining company truck, like the AngloAmerican, MMG and BHP Ect. We have professional experience in this area.

14. If we want to use our brand, is it ok?

Yes, we can accept the logo OEM, but the cost will be higher.

15. Can you do some customization on the product function?

Yes, we can customize according to the customer’s requirement. But the cost will be different.
