Advanced Fatigue Management
AI-Driven Protection for Operators. Real-Time Prevention for Fleet Safety.
Preventing Fatigue Before It Becomes an Incident
Fatigue is one of the leading contributors to serious incidents in mining, transport, and industrial operations. Long shifts, monotonous tasks, and distraction significantly increase risk — often without the operator realising they are compromised.
MPI's Advanced Fatigue Management System uses artificial intelligence, and real-time alerts to detect fatigue early, correct risky behaviour instantly, with real time reporting to control rooms for action.
Why Fatigue Matters
Fatigue and distraction are estimated to contribute to nearly 40% of serious vehicle-related incidents. Traditional controls rely on procedures, training, or post-incident reviews — often too late to prevent harm.
MPI shifts fatigue management from reactive monitoring to proactive detection and warnings.
A Closed-Loop Safety Approach
MPI's fatigue solution continuously monitors the operator, analyses fatigue indicators in real time, and responds immediately — both in-cab and at fleet level.
When integrated with MPI's Level 9 Proximity Detection & Collision Avoidance System (PDS/CAS), fatigue events can escalate beyond alerts to automatic vehicle slow-down or controlled safety stops.
How Fatigue Is Detected (Scientific Method)
Based on PERCLOS — the globally recognised metric for fatigue.
The system continuously analyses:
- Facial recognition
- Eye positioning
- Eyelid closure %
- Blink frequency
- Yawning and mouth posture
- Head pose & drooping
This multi-step pipeline ensures high accuracy even under sunglasses, glare, side angles, or low-light conditions.

Real-Time Alerts & Fleet Coaching
In-Cab Intervention
- Immediate audio and visual alerts warn operators the moment fatigue or risky behaviour is detected.
- Identify behaviour before it escalates into an incident.
Fleet-Wide Visibility
- Events are automatically recorded with HD video, GPS, speed, G-sensor data, and timestamps.
- Secure cloud upload enables near-real-time review.
- Every alert automatically includes 10 seconds before and after the event.
Behaviour-Based Coaching
- Managers access dashboards showing trends, hotspots, and repeat behaviours.
- Video-based evidence supports targeted coaching and measurable improvement.
Proven results: Global deployments have shown 55%+ reduction in risky behaviours.
Seamless Integration with MPI Level 9 CAS
From Fatigue Detection to Active Vehicle Control
MPI is the only solution in mining that fully unifies:
- Operator awareness
- Fatigue detection
- Proximity detection
- Collision avoidance intervention
- Single rules engine governing alerts and vehicle response
How Fatigue Triggers CAS Intervention
When fatigue is detected:
- Vehicles can automatically slow down
- Vehicles can execute a controlled safety stop
- Fatigue events become part of a single operator performance profile
- Speed reduction follows site-approved CAS rules
- Escalation logic prevents nuisance or false stops
This creates a single, intelligent safety ecosystem — where fatigue detection directly triggers collision avoidance action, reducing collisions, damage, and downtime.
Enterprise-Grade Hardware Built for Mining
MPI's advanced fatigue solution is powered by industrial-grade MDVR and AI hardware designed for harsh environments:
- Multi-channel MDVR (up to 8 cameras)
- Integrated front-facing and in-cab AI cameras
- H.265 video compression for efficient storage
- LTE / 4G / Wi-Fi / GPS / CAN bus connectivity
- High-precision G-sensor for impact detection
- Dual SD or HDD storage for extended retention
This is far beyond consumer dashcams or basic fleet DVRs.
Key Benefits
Move Beyond Monitoring
Transform fatigue detection into real-time collision prevention.
Traditional fatigue systems stop at monitoring and reporting. MPI AI Fatigue Management goes further — actively intervening when risk is detected.
By integrating fatigue detection directly with MPI Proximity Detection and Collision Avoidance Systems, unsafe behaviour can trigger real-time vehicle control actions — slowing or safely stopping equipment before an incident occurs.
This is not post-incident analysis.
This is predictive safety with immediate control.
