ADI & B-Secur Develop Automotive Biometric Solutions Together
The 'fault ratio' in auto insurance refers to the degree of responsibility between the at-fault party and the victim in the event of a car accident. An increase in the fault ratio not only reduces the insurance payout received in the event of an accident but also leads to a significant surcharge on future insurance premiums due to a history of traffic violations. This is why a solution is needed that helps drivers maintain their concentration while protecting their personal safety during driving.

Analog Devices (ADI) announced that it is developing automotive biometric authentication solutions in collaboration with B-Secur to ensure safe driving for vehicle occupants.

ADI plans to develop technology that combines its signal conditioning technology with B-Secur's electrocardiogram (ECG) biometric authentication algorithm software to enable vehicles to identify occupants' personal information while simultaneously checking their condition.

This technology is designed to monitor the driver's vital signs. In addition, the ECG verification function can be utilized for various purposes, such as vehicle entry, immobilizer deactivation, infotainment personalization for car-sharing systems, online payments, and personal insurance payments.

“B-Secur’s ECG biometric authentication technology not only quickly and securely verifies personal information but also derives meaningful indicators related to health conditions, such as passenger tension or drowsiness,” said Ben Carter, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of B-Secur. “We are very pleased to be able to contribute to making the world a safer place by collaborating with Analog Devices through biometric authentication technology.”
