Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) are advanced automotive safety technologies designed to monitor the attention, state, and behavior of a vehicle's driver. Typically utilizing camera sensors and infrared technology, DMS tracks indicators such as eye movement, head position, and facial expressions to assess alertness and detect signs of drowsiness or distraction. When necessary, these systems can issue alerts or even take corrective actions to prevent accidents, thereby enhancing road safety.
