Frequently Asked Questions About Oraigo
Clear answers about EEG-based driver fatigue detection: how it works, who it’s for, and why it matters.
How it works
How does the Oraigo drowsiness detection system work?
Oraigo is an integrated system built around three components: Aigo, the wearable EEG device; Go, the mobile app for the driver; and Fleets, the web app for fleet managers. The driver wears Aigo, which connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth. Go processes brainwave data in real time to detect the earliest signs of fatigue. When a risk threshold is reached, the system triggers auditory, visual, and vibratory alerts. Data is transmitted to Fleets, where managers can access reports and historical trends.
What happens if a driver falls asleep at the wheel?
If Oraigo detects a potential microsleep episode, Aigo emits a strong vibration while Go simultaneously activates auditory and visual alarms. The driver has 2 seconds to confirm they are awake by blinking; if no response is detected, the alert escalates and persists until acknowledged.
vs ADAS
How is Oraigo different from ADAS systems built into vehicles?
Standard ADAS systems are reactive: they intervene only when fatigue is already visible (lane drift, involuntary movement). Oraigo is preventive: it detects the earliest signs of fatigue, in some cases before the driver is even aware of it, and long before any observable driving errors occur. This gives a significantly wider window for action.
Technology
Is the EEG technology used by Oraigo safe and certified?
Yes. Aigo is worn like a headband and is CE (Conformité Européenne) certified, meeting the highest safety, health, and environmental protection standards required in the European market. For the US market, the device is also FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certified, confirming compliance with American regulations on electromagnetic emissions and electronic device safety. The algorithm is patented and developed specifically for the professional driving environment. EEG is recognized by the scientific community as one of the most accurate approaches for early drowsiness detection.
Does Oraigo work offline or does it require internet?
Drowsiness detection and driver alerts operate locally through Aigo and Go. This function does not depend on connectivity and works even in areas with poor coverage. A Wi-Fi connection is required for the first login to the app. Syncing to Fleets and generating advanced reports require a data connection, but can happen in deferred mode.
Pricing & Trial
How much does Oraigo cost? Are there fleet pricing plans?
Oraigo lets companies start with a free pilot, with no ongoing commitment: a concrete way to test the system on your own fleet before making any decision. At the end of the pilot, the company is free to choose between three options: not proceeding, continuing with an in-depth audit, or activating operational leasing. The latter includes technical support, software updates, and access to Fleets, with flexible plans for fleets of any size and no large upfront investment. For a tailored quote, you can book a free call with the Oraigo team.
Can we trial Oraigo before signing a contract?
Yes. Oraigo offers a free 1-month trial, with up to 3 Aigo devices and a comprehensive final report. To request your trial or book a demo: info@oraigo.com or via the website.
Industries
Which industries and fleet types benefit most from Oraigo?
Oraigo is designed for any professional fleet where fatigue is a real risk: freight transport (trucking, logistics, couriers), passenger transport (buses, chauffeur-driven hire, taxis), corporate fleets operating around the clock, hazardous goods (ADR), and services involving night driving or remote operations. The system is scalable from a handful of vehicles to hundreds.
Data & Privacy
How is driver data managed and protected?
Neurophysiological data is processed locally on Go and transmitted in aggregated, anonymized form to Fleets. Handling complies with GDPR. Fleet managers access fleet-level aggregated data; individual driver data is accessible only according to company policy.
Deployment & Compatibility
How long does it take to deploy Oraigo across a fleet?
No vehicle modifications or complex hardware needed. Aigo pairs via Bluetooth in a few minutes. Full fleet onboarding including Fleets configuration and training can typically be completed within a few business days with Oraigo team support.
Is Oraigo compatible with all vehicle types and smartphones?
Yes. Oraigo works via wearable device and mobile app, compatible with any vehicle type: trucks, buses, vans, company cars, specialist vehicles. Go is available for both Android and iOS. No vehicle-side hardware required.
