Title: HAMS: Harnessing AutoMobiles for Safety

Road safety is a major public health issue the world over. In the Harnessing AutoMobiles for Safety (HAMS) project at Microsoft Research India, we employ a dashboard-mounted smartphone, and the array of sensors it includes, as a virtual harness, with a view to monitoring drivers and their driving to improve safety. We focus primarily on the camera sensors of the smartphone, both the front camera, which faces the driver, and the back camera, which looks out to the front of the vehicle. We address the challenges arising from our choice of low-cost generic sensors instead of more expensive specialized sensors, the need for efficient processing on a smartphone, and demands of robust operation in uncontrolled environments. HAMS has been piloted as part of a driver training program, with promising results, and has been deployed for smartphone-based automation of driver license testing.
