Progress Rail fatigue monitoring enhances operator safety 

Progress Rail and Seeing Machines Ltd., a technology company that offers computer-vision based operator monitoring and intervention technology services, have been collaborating related to in-cab operator fatigue and distraction monitoring systems for use in EMD locomotives.
 
The underlying Seeing Machines Driver Safety System (DSS) technology is based on patented eye-tracking and analytics that detects driver distraction and fatigue while on the job. The integration of this technology in locomotive cabs "significantly reduces distraction events and helps monitor fatigue, increasing safety and accident avoidance," Progress Rail officials say.
