The Croydon Tram Accident killed seven people and was caused by driver incapacitation. The investigation by UK Tram identified the need for new technology that predicted and prevented depreciated physiological performance (fatigue, inattention, and incapacitation) at work.

There is currently no technology in the market capable of doing this. IHF DIGITAL Ltd has developed the requisite technology to fulfil this requirement. This lightweight wearable system collects biometric data and performs predictive analytics to detect error producing conditions to prevent fatigue related incidents and accidents before they occur.  &

Market value of UK Health & Safety services to Transport is £164 million annually, with increasing market size in the EU.  The project aims to pilot and test the product within the Light Rail industry, through Edinburgh Trams & Debrecen Transport (DKV).  This will involve a large-scale roll-out of the technology with 50-70 drivers in both locations to gather user feedback, through engagement with Edinburgh Napier University, and to develop new processes for commercial use. Aims include EU exposure and testing short-term, to full roll-out and adoption in EU transport long-term. The project also provides clear benefits to urban logistics and mobility as the improved safety of operations for drivers and passengers, which contributes to a safer and better quality of life in cities and towns.
