Smart car system that monitors the health of the driver and passengers and transmits information to emergency services in the event of a road accident.

We are third-year students at Vilnius University VM and are conducting an anonymous survey for market research. We aim to find out the public’s needs, opinions and attitudes towards a smart car system we are developing. The system monitors the health of drivers and passengers and, in the event of a road accident, sends additional information to emergency services.

The survey is anonymous, and the data collected will be used for academic purposes only. Thank you for your time and responses!

Results are available only to the author

Estimated answer time more than 11 minutes

Yes, I know how it works.I have heard of it, but I don’t know how it works.No, I haven’t heard of such a system.

Imagine a smart car system that uses sensors and artificial intelligence to monitor the physiological indicators of the driver and passengers. In the event of a road accident, the system could work alongside eCall to send emergency services additional information about the health of the people in the car, such as heart rate, breathing indicators or health conditions provided in advance. This would help emergency services prepare to provide assistance before they arrive. The system could also alert the driver to possible changes in their health.
