Driver Safety System (DSS)

Driver Safety System (DSS)

The Cat® Detect Driver Safety System (DSS) is an in-cab technology that detects fatigue and distraction events and alerts operators to enhance safety.

Cat Detect Driver Safety System - DSS

DESCRIPTION

Fatigued and distracted equipment operators can pose a severe risk to themselves and others. The consequences can be costly, even fatal. The Cat® Detect Driver Safety System (DSS) is an in-cab detection technology that can help identify and address fatigue and distraction events, enhancing operator safety.

The Hidden Safety Risk

        
  • Paying attention is closely tied to the cognitive workload. 
  •     
  • If the workload is too high or low, focus can falter, leading to inattentional blindness and increased susceptibility to attention lapses.
  •     
  • Many of us have experienced a momentary lapse of attention while driving, whether due to fatigue or distraction - it is a natural phenomenon and a result of being human. 
  •     
  • While distraction and fatigue may go unnoticed, the consequences can be life-changing.

How DSS Works

How It Works

        
  • The Cat Detect DSS system is Intended for hauling applications where fatigue or distraction may threaten driver attention.
  •     
  • DSS uses artificial intelligence to detect physiological signs of fatigue or distraction.
  •     
  • When an inattention event is detected, the system nudges the operator back to attention by sound and seat vibration.    
  •     
  • The DSS system captures event data, and transmits a secure, encrypted event data file to Caterpillar’s 24/7 monitoring center.
  •     
  • Cat’s trained safety advisors confirm, categorize, and classify each event and initiate your company’s risk intervention plan.
  •     
  • DSS has been designed for easy installation on equipment with closed cabs – ideal for mixed fleet use.

System Advantages

        
  • IT DOESN’T JUST KEEP A RECORD - DSS is like an early warning system that provides actionable insights and intervenes with audible and seat vibration alerts.
  •     
  • IT PRIORITIZES DRIVER FOCUS - DSS has dashboard mounting, which offers unparalleled monitoring accuracy while being unobtrusive to the operator.
  •     
  • GAIN INVALUABLE INSIGHTS - DSS provides invaluable data insights through remote monitoring, analysis and assistance.
  •     
  • INDUSTRY-LEADING ALGORITHMS - Its algorithms have been refined over 20+ years using  9 billion miles of naturalistic driving data.
  •     
  • MAINTAINING OPERATOR PRIVACY - DSS is not a video surveillance or CCTV system. All video data remains onboard the unit unless a safety threshold is breached. Only then does the system transmit data offboard, helping maintain operator privacy. Supervisors cannot use it to survey operators remotely; they will only be alerted when necessary.

Machine Applications

        
  • DSS has been designed for light and medium duty commercial/ industrial applications (machines under 100 mt).
  •     
  • The system is compatible with any enclosed cab machine, including:
         + Articulated Trucks
         + Earthmoving Equipment
         + Heavy-Duty Service Trucks
         + Light Duty Commercial Trucks
         + Quarry Trucks
         + Construction Trucks
         + On-Highway Trucks
         + Over-The-Road Haulers
         + Ready-Mix Trucks
         + Snow Removal & Sanding Trucks
         + And More...
