Definition / Description
The DMS Longtime Driving Warning is triggered when the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) detects that a driver has been continuously operating the vehicle for an extended duration without taking sufficient rest. This alert helps fleet managers promote driver safety by preventing fatigue-related incidents, ensuring compliance with driving hour regulations, and encouraging timely rest breaks to reduce risks associated with prolonged driving.

Example / Use Case
A DMS Longtime Driving Warning is triggered when the DMS camera detects that the driver has been continuously operating the vehicle beyond the allowed driving duration. This alert notifies the fleet manager that the driver may be fatigued and needs rest. It allows the manager to take preventive measures such as advising a break or arranging a driver change, thereby enhancing safety, reducing accident risks, and maintaining compliance with regulated driving hours.
