A novel algorithm for detecting the drowsiness onset in real-time

Traffic accidents due to drivers falling asleep while driving is an important cause of death, and effective techniques for coping with this phenomenon are needed. In paper we present a simple, yet algorithm, based on heart rate variability analysis. Results the experimental validation reported: two test sessions were performed, one in domestic environments realistic by using dynamic simulator. The results confirm obtained previous work (Groppo et al. , 2020), capability proposed algorithm predicting sleep physiological signal that can be collected at wrist driver.
