Tibbling Technologies LLC received a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) for the period of June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. The award supports development of SmartDrive, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered mobile application designed to detect non-disordered drug use in drivers in real time. The application utilizes a transformer-based AI framework that analyzes facial and body pose features—including facial symmetry, gauntness, and overall appearance—to assess whether drivers are impaired by drug use before operating vehicles. The solution targets school and college bus drivers across the United States. The cloud-based application will provide immediate feedback to users regarding their fitness to drive and will automatically notify school or college administration and law enforcement authorities when a driver is deemed unfit to operate a vehicle. This technology platform is designed to enhance detection accuracy while ensuring scalability and accessibility across multiple devices, with the ultimate goal of promoting safer driving practices and improving public safety outcomes. The project represents NIDA's support for applied intervention development and technology innovation in substance use prevention and detection.Federal Grant Award Summary
