Rosstandart has adopted a GOST standard for monitoring systems of the driver's functional state with AI components. The standard comes into force on June 15, 2026, and for the first time establishes uniform requirements for such systems at the stages of commissioning, operation, and repair, RIA Novosti found out.
The system should analyze physiological, behavioral, and contextual factors simultaneously. Computer vision monitors the frequency and duration of yawning, head tilts, and facial expressions — tension or relaxation of the face. In parallel, AI assesses the pace of speech, intonation, and automatically recognizes the sounds of yawns and sighs.
GOST requires not only recording the current state but also predicting short-term changes — fatigue, decreased attention, stress, falling asleep. The results should be fed into the active safety systems of the car and affect their operation. In fact, the document creates a standardized basis for the mass introduction of anti-sleep systems in Russian vehicles.
