In an unusual request we search for a technical system to enforce car drivers distracted by mobileing. The system should identify drivers in-use of a mobile (video surveillance system).

Who knows/has in operation a proper mobile video-surveillance system to catch drivers mobileing?
Is there an unknown manufacturer globally we missed? (We run a weDIY system actually but search for the best in class solution).

Please PM-only me.

In an unusual request …

In what is it unusual? ?

It seems to me like a pretty standard one from you

Anyone knows ….

<insert here any advanced and presumably rare new technology>

… PM only.

The only unusual part is the missing DFTC.

The problem is that LEO systems are a small market and solutions often extremely expensive. But the security of pedestrians, little children and elderly people is important.

Driver Distractions is the cancer of 2018 on the streets.

Did you ever ask Continental or Bosch for such a camera? This would be my first idea and you would get an answer in german. Where else do the car brands buy the cams to detect tired car drivers?

Just my 2 cent.

Good point! The drivers readiness 'sensor' (operated by Nvidida K1 in A8) we will include into Car Forensics post-crash -)

I actually search for an outside-in solution to enforce the masses of distracted drivers as it has a very bad side-effect of killing little kids after the traffic lights as switching concentration from mobile to street is slower than humans realize.

And here I am failing to understand.

Are you going to have a new Law mandating the use of the technology on private cars? (ALL cars transiting in Switzerland, much like an extension of the "vignette")

Or are you wanting to put - say - at each cross road, on the same pole as the traffic light, a camera that can automagically see if a driver approaching the intersection is distracted?

And what would happen when/if the automagical camera detects such a situation?
1) a loud horn starts blasting
2) a few weeks later the driver gets a hefty fine at home
3) a Police patrol stops the driver a few hundred meters after he haphazardly crossed the intersection while distracted
4) something else or a combination of the above

1-out-of-3 is mobileing while driving low speed in-city.

Maybe.
Still you didn't answer my questions, in a nutshell;
1) how do you envision the technology?
2) In which way it will be effective in avoiding the distraction (and the consequent hitting and killing of the poor children)?

I know this isn't an off the shelf product, but this project looks like it could be tailored to the kind of system you are talking about
