Eyes on the Road is an application that uses a smartphone-mounted camera to determine whether a driver or a passenger is using a smartphone in a driving car. The application, which a research team at Carnegie Mellon University is making, detects parts on any vehicle model, such as vehicle sunroof, headrest, and roof grip, and determines where the smartphone user is sitting in that direction or position.
Speed detection using the existing GPS is uniformly limited in use. However, this method can be operated by passengers other than the driver. Moreover, since it uses a smartphone camera, it is also an advantage that no external device is required.
As a result of conducting this application test by 33 subjects using 16 vehicles, it was reported that 94% of the subjects were in possession of a smartphone, and 92.2% of them operated correctly when fixed to a holder. The research team says that operating a smartphone while driving increases the likelihood of an accident by 400%. If the app is released in full version, the risk of tragic accidents may be reduced.
