Viber Alert provides a smart haptic seat system that converts vehicle ECU and CAN‑bus data into real‑time vibration cues felt through the driver’s seat. By delivering tactile alerts for turn signals, ADAS warnings, reverse‑assist, autonomous‑driving cues and other safety signals, it keeps drivers focused on the road without relying on visual or auditory cues. The compact module can be integrated into new seats or retrofitted onto existing seats in cars, motorcycles and trucks, and includes onboard sensors and Bluetooth connectivity for additional driver‑behavior monitoring and route‑based alerts.

Problem
Drivers often miss critical vehicle alerts such as turn signals, blind‑spot warnings, or autonomous‑mode notifications, especially when visual or auditory cues are overlooked due to distraction or environmental noise. This can lead to delayed reactions, reduced situational awareness, and increased risk of accidents.
Solution
Viber Alert offers a smart haptic seat system that converts vehicle data from the ECU and CAN bus into real‑time vibration patterns felt through the driver’s seat. By delivering tactile feedback for turn‑indicator status, ADAS alerts, reverse‑assist, autonomous‑driving cues, and other safety signals, the system keeps the driver’s attention focused on the road without relying on visual or auditory channels. The seat integrates onboard gyroscope and accelerometer sensors to monitor driver behavior and vehicle motion, while Bluetooth connectivity links to a companion app that provides additional route warnings such as speed cameras and road hazards. This haptic interface can be installed in new vehicles or retrofitted onto existing seats, creating a consistent safety layer across cars, motorcycles, and trucks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are automotive manufacturers, fleet operators, and aftermarket retrofit providers seeking to enhance driver safety in passenger cars, commercial trucks, and motorcycles.
