25% of traffic accidents in the European Union are directly related to driving under conditions of drowsiness or fatigue; accidents due to these causes are clearly a major social and economic problem. Technological contraptions already exist, that try to prevent them by detecting various factors relating to the drowsiness of the driver. However, these technologies frequently yield false positive results, mainly due to noise caused by environmental and emotional factors. Together with the companies FICOSA and INTEKIO, the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) is participating in the development of a new system based on cameras in order to resolve the problems mentioned above.

The SIMON project aims to improve this situation through the integration of different applications and technologies which facilitate parking and mobility in urban areas.
