Emergency Tractor Shut-Off using a Voice Command System

Project Title: Emergency Tractor Shut-Off using a Voice Command System

PI: Glen Rains, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, University of Georgia

Relevance:Results increased knowledge about the complexity of automatically sending a help signal when the tractor operator is not responding or has not returned to his or her seat within a specific time period. Improved voice-recognition technology can benefit older farmers and farmers with disabilities increasing the AgrAbility of the rural workforce.
