Aware Mate 2.0 addresses maritime safety challenges by analyzing crew behavior and emotional states in real-time. While previous technologies focused on fatigue detection, our new system expands its scope to include:

1. Detecting stress and emotional cues that can impair decision-making, especially in high-pressure situations.
2. Inland navigation, where confined spaces, frequent maneuvers, and weather conditions create additional operational risks.
3. Addressing the lack of proactive systems for identifying potentially dangerous behaviors and adjusting procedures in real-time.

By taking this approach, the project aims to prevent human error, enhance situational awareness, and ultimately improve navigational safety.
