Hybrid Drowsiness Detection System to Prevent Accident using Non-Intrusive Physiological Measures

In recent years, driver drowsiness has been one of the major causes of road accidents and can lead to severe physical injuries, deaths and significant economic losses. Since car accidents may be caused by the driver’s tiredness, there are some assistance systems designed for bringing the attention of a driver. In this paper, we review different measures and discuss its advantages and limitations and we are also discussing different indicators of sleepiness in this paper. We conclude that by designing a hybrid drowsiness detection system that combines the non-intrusive physiological measures with other measures one would accurately determine the drowsiness level of a driver.
