AI monitoring of driver fatigue at El Teniente
Codelco expanded AI driver monitoring from a 25-bus pilot to 350 vehicles
Problem
El Teniente needed to detect driver fatigue and distraction during employee transport to operating areas.
Approach
Codelco integrated cabin cameras and AI algorithms across transport operator Link's fleet. The system detected risky behaviour and notified the transport control centre. Alerts triggered radio instructions to stop safely and check the driver's condition before continuing.
Results
Takeaway
Detection was connected to an immediate operational response. Codelco reported fleet coverage without quantifying a reduction in accidents.
