AI Fleet Safety  ·  Built for India

Fatigue kills.
Detect it
before it does.

DrowseGuard monitors driver drowsiness, yawning, and head nodding in real time — alerting fleet operators before a fatigued driver becomes a statistic on India's highways.

The Problem

A crisis hiding
in plain sight

India's truck and bus drivers routinely clock 16–20 hour shifts. Fatigue is invisible in accident reports — buried under "over-speeding" and "loss of control."

#1
Worst road safety record globally
India records over 1.8 lakh road deaths annually. 30% of fatal crashes occur at night despite lower traffic volume.
20%
Accidents directly caused by fatigue
Driver drowsiness is silent. No skid marks. No braking. A truck driver whose eyes closed for 3 seconds at 80 km/h — and a family destroyed.
32%
Accidents involve trucks or buses
Commercial vehicles are disproportionately responsible. Their drivers are the most overworked, least monitored, and highest risk group on Indian roads.
2026
Mandatory compliance deadline
India's Ministry of Road Transport mandates drowsiness alert systems on all new commercial vehicles from 2026. Fleet operators must act now.
Technology

Three signals.
One life protected.

DrowseGuard runs on a compact hardware unit using MediaPipe's 478-point face mesh to track three independent drowsiness signals simultaneously — no cloud, no latency.

Detection 01

Eye Aspect Ratio

Tracks the ratio of eyelid height to width across 6 facial landmarks per eye. When eyes begin closing, EAR drops below threshold — persistent low EAR across consecutive frames triggers a drowsiness alert.

ThresholdEAR < 0.25
Trigger frames20 consecutive
Response time~2.0 seconds
Detection 02

Mouth Aspect Ratio

Measures mouth opening using 4 landmark points. A wide, sustained opening indicates yawning — one of the earliest and most reliable physiological precursors to microsleep onset in drivers.

ThresholdMAR > 0.60
Trigger frames15 consecutive
Response time~1.5 seconds
Detection 03

Head Nod Detection

Tracks nose tip Y-position against a self-calibrating baseline. Forward head drop signals microsleep onset. Baseline auto-calibrates in 20 frames — works instantly for every driver, including those with turbans or beards.

ThresholdDrop > 0.08
Trigger frames12 consecutive
Response time~1.2 seconds

Market & Regulation

The regulation
is already written.

Fleet operators aren't deciding whether to buy — they're deciding who to buy from. DrowseGuard is the affordable, fast-to-deploy Indian alternative to expensive multinational enterprise players.

Target price — at global hardware parity

Global average hardware cost is ~$120 per vehicle. DrowseGuard hits this while adding a SaaS dashboard layer on top for recurring revenue.

>50%
Gross margin

Hardware margin at fleet pricing

With a sub-₹4,000 bill of materials, even at fleet discount pricing the hardware margin remains strong — before any SaaS revenue is counted.

Competitive gap

Enterprise players like Rosmerta Technologies and Netradyne D-450 are expensive and slow to deploy. Their pricing and long sales cycles leave a clear opening for a fast, affordable Indian startup that genuinely understands the driver — not just the data.

Pricing

Compliance shouldn't
cost a fortune.

Hardware once, dashboard monthly. Straightforward pricing designed for Indian fleet operators — not enterprise procurement cycles.
