Poetential Solution For Drowsy Driving

If I wanted shock treatment, I would sneak into Russia or China.

You have drivers out there that are too cheap to pay for a free shower, how are you going to get them to spend $500 on something like this? I say $500 because you need to make a profit and so does the store that sells it.

Now, if you really wanted to design something much more useful, design a gps system that would incorporate a driver's elogs , accurate gps and trip planning, even going as far as re route for traffic issues when possible and track weather systems. That my friend would be a game changing idea

Now that, is a great idea!

That already exists: Rand McNally TND Tablet plus HD 100 E-logging device for your TND Tablet

Also, there's this: Garmin dēzlCam™ LMTHD which is Garmin's all-in-one device for truckers.

I like the Garmin GPS

Do you have any questions or concerns to our device in general?

I'm wondering why you picked an electrical shock instead of a vibration or an audio alarm?

I don't see any of those solutions as a way to stay awake beyond what would normally be safe. Once you're sleepy, you're sleepy and getting at least a short nap is the only way to truly remedy this. But of course something like this could certainly be used as an emergency alarm to wake up a driver that is falling asleep. Right now there are companies using cameras for instance to watch the blink rate of the driver's eyes and if they keep their eyes closed too long or their blink rate slows too much an audio alarm will sound to prevent the driver from falling asleep.

From a marketing standpoint I don't see this type of technology as something a truck driver would purchase for themselves, especially at that price point, but it could be something that trucking companies may consider purchasing and then require their drivers to use.

I personally wouldn't be against trying it, probably because I've been shocked about 500 times by electric fences over the years so it's nothing new to me. But it seems an audio alarm or vibration might be a better solution than an electric shock. But I will say this - if done right, nobody will fall asleep anytime soon after being shocked!

I'm not going to lie I often drive for around 800 miles a day and but I wouldn't risk this it's something cool to think about but in the end your going to end up with a lawsuit and no company and someone or possibly a lot of people are going to end up hurt or dead. When I was in Iraq and Afghanistan we learned to operate on very little sleep but this wouldn't even appease me while I was deployed. Overall cool thought but no it work what so ever.

Logic disconnect! Justin, either you average 73 mph or drive more like 12 hours per day. Still working your paper logs?

The first time I got shocked. I would probably. Hand it back to you, throw water on your u and make it go off.....

In reality no electrical shock would not work. Shocking someone can lead to stroke, heart attack, asthma attack...etc.
