It seems the world of Apple's iPhone and iPad users have an other app available, this one is asleep at the wheel designed to prevent one of their car.

If you are too tired, if you drive many hours in the car, they pull over to the side of the road and a NAP or pulling off the highway and grab some coffee. Must you can mean this new app, if its developers claim it that drivers not to stop and find out whether they are tired, the app, which lead for the driver to work, because to go.

At Montlick and Associates, attorneys at law, we have received serious car accident victims in all Georgia the Compensaiton here, that they deserve for more than 27 years.

A company called ASP developed an app called the anti sleep pilot that can supposedly actually monitor fatigue level of the driver. If this pictures of someone with electrodes on their temples and a large beeping firmly on the road in her car driving machine in the passenger seat conjures up, there's no reason for concern. The app and all its functions can drive easily displayed on the iPhone screen, like you.

How does it work? For the first time that the app is set up, created the driver itself approximately 12 different questions a baseline profile of themselves. Some of the information that it collects includes age, sex, how many hours per week the person works, etc.. The app helps the driver to calculate fatigue status before the journey begins. During the journey, the app shows constantly fatigue level of the driver with the screen of the iPhone itself.

The screen shows how the person is driving, and sounds a series of light and tests to break the monotony of the drive. The driver is called, sometimes touching the screen, so that this will help to increase vigilance of the driver level. If the application detects that the driver has become overly tired and that an accident sounds may be forthcoming, there an alarm alerts the driver, who take a rest break.

There is also a graphic driver fatigue dashboard, that shows the level of fatigue of the driver driving distance, average speed and progression. The app is also integrated with Google maps, constantly the driver provide an overview of his or her driving-range, is before the driver has to take the next break.

If it works, as shown, this app can be a great application for lorry drivers, that driver fatigue is one of the leading causes serious commercial truck accidents. This device can be a way to reduce the fatigue and sleep-related car accidents, but one must be questions about the driving distraction created by the device itself. Distracted driving is also a leading cause of serious car accidents. This driver requires obviously both show the screen for the signals and touching the screen. This means that the app provides both Visual and manual is a distraction so it is not clear whether reducing worth of yet another tired go driving distraction from an electronic gadget.
