1. A system for supervising the safety on a site with at least one movable object,comprising at the movable object:
- a drowsiness detection system for supplying data related to a drowsiness state of an operator of the movable object, the drowsiness detection system including at least one sensor for detecting a drowsiness state of the operator,comprising remote from the movable object;
a monitoring system in communication with the drowsiness detection system,wherein the drowsiness detection system is adapted to send the drowsiness state related data to the monitoring system,wherein the monitoring system is adapted to log and/or evaluate the drowsiness state related data,wherein the movable object comprises a positioning device for identifying a position of the movable object,wherein the drowsiness detection system is adapted to send data related to the position of the movable object to the monitoring system,wherein the monitoring system is adapted to log an identified drowsiness state of the operator in combination with a time stamp for contributing to a data collection illustrating identified drowsiness states dependent on time andwherein the monitoring system is adapted to log the identified drowsiness state of the operator in combination with the position data of the movable object for contributing to a data collection illustrating identified drowsiness states dependent on positions of the movable object, the identified drowsy state is selected from a group consisting of “
fully alert”
, “
alert”
, “
distracted”
, “
easily distracted”
, “
drowsy”
, “
very drowsy”
, and “

Abstract
In a system for supervising the safety on a site with at least one movable object, a drowsiness detection system is arranged at the movable object for supplying data related to a drowsiness state of an operator of the movable object. A monitoring system remote from the movable object receives the drowsiness state related data and logs and/or evaluates this drowsiness state related data.

21. A non-transitory, tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
-
use at least one sensor at a movable object for detecting a drowsiness state of an operator of the movable object, receive data related to a drowsiness state of the operator of the movable object at a monitoring system remote from the movable object, log and/or evaluate the received drowsiness state related data, and use a position device at the movable object for identifying a position of the movable object, send data related to the position of the movable object to the monitoring system, log an identified drowsiness state of the operator in combination with a time stamp for contributing to a data collection illustrating identified drowsiness states dependent on time, and log the identified drowsiness state of the operator in combination with the position data of the movable object for contributing to a data collection illustrating identified drowsiness states dependent on positions of the movable object, the identified drowsy state is selected from a group consisting of “
