  • Patent number: 11694479
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, disclosed are systems and methods for a novel framework that performs management of a location and the individuals operating therein based on determined fatigue data of such individuals. The framework may track a person (e.g., a user) at or around a location. Such tracking may be performed based on captured digital imagery of the user via a set of strategically positioned cameras at the location. In some embodiments, as soon as a user begins working, or upon detection by a camera(s), the framework may cause the camera(s) to begin capturing footage of the user, which may be fed, uploaded and/or streamed to a fatigue detection system that determines fatigue data related to the user. Such fatigue data may be leveraged to control which jobs certain users are performing, while reassigning other users based on safety decisions formed from their respective fatigue data.
