The fatigue alert system is a technology present in many modern automobiles that aims to prevent accidents caused by drowsiness of the driver. This system works through sensors that monitor the driver's behavior and detect signs of fatigue, such as sudden steering wheel movements, slowing down and inattention.

When the system detects these signals, it emits an audible and visual alert to draw the driver's attention and alert him to the need to rest. Some car models also have a vibration system in the driver's seat, which helps to wake you up in case of drowsiness.

To detect driver fatigue, the alert system uses a series of sensors, such as the steering wheel position sensor, the car speed sensor, the tire pressure sensor and even the vehicle's front camera. These sensors work together to gather data about driver behavior and identify patterns that indicate fatigue.

In addition, some fatigue alert systems also use artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze data collected by sensors and identify behavioral patterns that indicate fatigue. These algorithms are able to learn from driver behavior over time and adapt to different driving styles.

In summary, the fatigue warning system is an important technology to prevent accidents caused by driver drowsiness. With its advanced sensors and algorithms, it is able to detect signs of fatigue and alert the driver so that he can rest and avoid an accident.

The fatigue warning system in modern cars employs sensors to monitor the driver's behavior. It detects signs of fatigue such as sudden steering wheel movements, reduced speed, and inattention. These systems may use AI algorithms to analyze data from sensors and identify patterns indicating fatigue, alerting the driver when a rest is needed to prevent accidents.
