The only driver safety system that predicts microsleep before it happens — firing a voice alert 2–5 seconds before a driver's eyes close. Built in Perth for WA's mining, transport and logistics fleets.
At the core of Sentinal Nexus AI is a real-time eye analysis engine that monitors 478 facial landmarks on the driver's face, 30 times every second. It tracks the precise geometry of the eye — how open it is, how fast it is blinking, and how the pattern is changing moment to moment.
When the system detects that the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) is trending toward closure — the signature biometric pattern that precedes microsleep — it fires a voice alert 2 to 5 seconds before the eyes actually close. No other system at any price point does this.
The AI also monitors mouth opening (MAR), head yaw, head pitch, blink rate, and cognitive load simultaneously — building a complete picture of driver alertness in real time, all on-device, with no internet required.
Driver fatigue is responsible for 20–30% of fatal crashes on Western Australia's roads. On remote Pilbara highways, the Goldfields, and the Kimberley — a single microsleep at highway speed is fatal.
Every dashcam, lane departure system, and enterprise telematics platform shares one critical flaw — they respond to fatigue after it has already occurred. They document what went wrong. They cannot stop it.
The driver is already asleep before the alert fires. By then, it is too late. Sentinal Nexus AI changes that entirely.
Record what happens. Alert after the vehicle has already drifted. Provide footage for investigations — not prevention.
Trigger when the vehicle has already crossed the line. The driver is already unconscious before the warning fires.
Detect eye closure — not predict it. Require internet connectivity that disappears hundreds of kilometres from Perth.
A$2,000–5,000+ per vehicle plus ongoing subscriptions. Inaccessible to the thousands of small WA fleet operators.
Every competitor waits for a threshold to be crossed — then reacts. We monitor the biometric patterns that precede fatigue and intervene before the danger arrives.
Our microsleep predictor fires 2–5 seconds before eye closure. By detecting pre-close biometric patterns rather than waiting for actual closure, we give drivers time to act. No other system at any price point does this.
Industry FirstEvery AI module runs on hardware in the vehicle cab. Zero internet dependency. Works in the Pilbara, Goldfields, and Kimberley where mobile coverage disappears for hundreds of kilometres. When competitors go dark, we keep running.
Zero Cloud DependencyBeyond physical eye closure, we monitor mental fatigue — detecting when a driver's concentration is deteriorating before drowsiness becomes visible. No consumer or enterprise competitor offers this at vehicle level.
Unique CapabilityThe system learns each driver's natural baseline — their eye shape, blink rate, and head position at rest. Every alert is calibrated to the individual, not a generic average. Fewer false alarms. More meaningful warnings.
Adaptive AIA second camera monitors the road ahead — estimating distances in metres, detecting pedestrian intent, reading traffic signs, and classifying road type. Combined driver and road risk for the complete safety picture.
Road + Driver AIWhen unconsciousness is confirmed, the system automatically prepares emergency dispatch with GPS coordinates and driver identity. A cancel window prevents false dispatches. In remote WA, every second counts.
Auto DispatchAn honest comparison of what each system actually delivers for WA fleet operators.
From installation to real-time fatigue prevention — five simple steps.
Compact camera and AI unit mount in the cab. No vehicle modifications. Under one hour.
Each driver's face is enrolled. AI builds a personal biometric baseline — unique to them.
9 AI modules run simultaneously — analysing 478 landmarks every 33 milliseconds, all offline.
Voice alert fires 2–5 seconds before eye closure. The driver is warned before they lose consciousness.
Live fleet dashboard — safety scores, fatigue events, GPS, compliance across every vehicle.
Every module runs simultaneously on hardware in the cab — no cloud, no latency, no data leaving the vehicle.
Monitors 478 facial landmarks at 30fps. Eye Aspect Ratio, blink rate, yawn frequency, head yaw and pitch — tracked in real-time with adaptive per-driver baselines.
Always RunningFires 2–5 seconds before eye closure by detecting pre-close biometric patterns. The system predicts — every competitor only detects.
Industry FirstMonitors mental workload and concentration stability — detecting cognitive fatigue before physical drowsiness appears. Unique at vehicle level.
Unique CapabilityIdentifies registered drivers instantly and maintains identity through blinks and brief occlusions. Supports multiple drivers per vehicle with individual history.
Instant IDFuses twelve signals — EAR trend, blink rate, cognitive load, speed, session duration, route risk — to output real-time incident probability for the next 60 seconds.
12-Signal FusionSecond camera estimates vehicle distances in metres, detects pedestrian intent, identifies traffic signs, and classifies road conditions — combined with driver risk.
Dual CameraLearns each driver's unique facial baseline over their first sessions. Personalised thresholds eliminate false alarms from drivers with naturally different eye shapes.
Adaptive AIContext-aware engine that considers speed, time of day, session duration, weather, and driver history before deciding whether and how urgently to alert.
Context-AwareWhen unconsciousness is confirmed, automatic emergency dispatch with GPS coordinates and incident data. Cancel window prevents false dispatches.
Auto GPS DispatchFIFO workers on overnight drives to Pilbara mine sites. The most fatigue-exposed workforce in Australia. Compliant with the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 (WA).
Road train operators on the 1,600km Perth–Port Hedland corridor and Kimberley freight routes where help is hours away and fatigue is the primary risk.

Sentinal Nexus AI supports WA operators in meeting their legal fatigue management obligations.
Employer duty of care for worker safety during work-related travel and site access.
Fatigue management for Pilbara and Goldfields mining operations and FIFO transport.
Complements required fatigue management plans for heavy vehicle operators across WA.
Demonstrates due diligence by schedulers, consignors, and loading managers.
All video processed on-device. No biometric data transmitted. Driver consent documented.
Every competitor requires an internet connection to function. For WA remote routes, that is not a limitation — it is a failure mode. Sentinal Nexus AI was designed from day one to work where there is no signal.
Sentinal Nexus AI is a Western Australian technology startup founded with one purpose — bringing every driver home safely from WA's most remote and dangerous routes.
We are not a dashcam company. We are not a telematics provider. We are an AI safety company that has built the first genuinely predictive driver fatigue prevention system designed specifically for WA's mining and transport industry.
Every design decision reflects WA's reality — offline-first because Pilbara highways have no mobile signal, and affordable because most WA fleets have fewer than 20 vehicles and have been priced out of enterprise alternatives.
Whether you want to book a demo, join our free pilot program, or ask a question — we are based in Perth and respond within one business day.
We install Sentinal Nexus AI in one of your vehicles. You evaluate it for 7 days at no cost. No obligation. No commitment required. We believe so strongly in the product that we put it in your fleet before you spend a dollar.
