Operational scenarios

Safety enforced before the engine turns over.

Four challenges faced by site safety officers and fleet managers - and how Chkdin AI addresses each.

Operational scenario 01

Uncertified Machinery Operation & Ignition Tampering

The challenge

On remote, multi-shift megaproject corridors, uncertified personnel or unauthorized sub-contractors crank up high-value machinery - excavators, tower cranes, dump trucks - leading to fatal accidents and insurance liability.

The Chkdin AI solution

Ruggedized on-cab edge modules tied directly to the ignition relay. Before engine turnover, the camera performs sub-second biometric verification against local license databases. If an operator is uncertified for that equipment class, ignition stays locked.

Key outcome

100% elimination of unlicensed equipment operation with zero reliance on easily lost or shared physical keys.

FAQ

Fleet safety, answered.

How does the ignition interlock work?

A ruggedized on-cab edge module is tied to the vehicle ignition relay. Before engine turnover, the camera verifies the operator against local license databases; uncertified operators keep the ignition locked. The relay unlocks in under 100 ms after verification.

Does it work in mines and tunnels without signal?

Yes. Driver license vector tables reside in local volatile memory on air-gapped on-board nodes, so verification works with no cellular or cloud link.

Can it detect driver fatigue?

Yes. In-cab optical tracking evaluates micro-sleep, eye closure, head tilt and phone usage at 120 FPS, triggering sub-second audio-visual cabin alerts.

Is driver video recorded?

No. Cabin optical feeds are processed in volatile RAM and zeroized immediately after inference, with 0 KB saved to disk.
