Radar-based monitoring of human vitals in vehicles - Feasibility study

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The aim of the feasibility study was to develop the technical and practical conditions for an implementation project. In dialogue with project partners and vehicle manufacturers, the focus for a continued project has shifted: From a longer validation study with a focus on the benefit effects to an implementation project with a focus on integrating the technology into test vehicles. The long-term goal of the technology is to improve the precision of coordination of relief resources, thereby saving lives and reducing serious injuries.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** During the project, the development of the basic technology has reached a level where it can be installed in a test vehicle to measure vital parameters under realistic conditions. The technology is promising, compared to camera-based "near infrared" detection of respiration and pulse, our technology has no problems with makeup, facial hair and skin color. The feasibility study has resulted in a proposal for a full-scale FFI project together with current project partners and a major vehicle manufacturer.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Collaboration between project partners has taken place in the form of online workshops and ongoing discussions, while Emsense has been responsible for the development of the technical platform. The individual expertise of the project partners has very well complemented each other and formed a valuable whole. Not entirely unexpectedly, the goal picture for a full-scale project has changed as we have gained new insights during the project.
