Forensic analysis of driver fatigue detection systems – Forensic documentation of driver fatigue warning systems
Driver fatigue detection systems analyse steering and driving behaviour in order to detect signs of waning attention and warn the driver accordingly; some of the warnings issued are logged.
This data may be relevant in determining whether and when a fatigue warning was issued prior to an incident.

Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We analyse the available log data from the drowsiness detection system and document any warnings issued during the relevant study period in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a fatigue detection analysis works
Once the data has been backed up, any available warning logs are extracted and compared with steering angle and driving profile data from the relevant period.
Why is the fatigue detection analysis relevant in a forensic context?
A documented fatigue warning may be relevant in determining whether the driver was alerted in good time to a decline in alertness.
The failure of an expected warning to appear may also be of forensic significance and may indicate technical limitations of the system.
