Commuticate
- Program: Computer Science
- Course: EN.601.503 CS Independent Study
Project Description:
Driver fatigue is an issue that plagues millions of drivers and endangers hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians around the world each year. Drowsy driving is a grave issue that has been brushed under the rug and improperly addressed for too long. So, Commuticate has stepped up to the task to solve it the right way. Ultimately, Commuticate aims to rid roads around the globe of dangerous, drowsy driving in fun and effective ways!
Existing “solutions” fail to mitigate driver fatigue because they are either untargeted and/or outright ineffective. Additionally, most “targeted” solutions are reactive, meaning the driver must have already reached a drowsy state before any assistance is offered. Commuticate takes a preventative approach to ending driver fatigue by ensuring that the driver never even enters such a state. This is achieved via the procurement of a variety of interactive media to keep drivers’ minds engaged and alert.
