Monitoring the Drowsiness of Drivers Using Infrared Oculography
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Drowsiness is thought to cause about 20% of all road crashes in Australia [1]. However, this is likely to be a conservative estimate as it has not been possible to measure a driver’s drowsiness accurately at the time of the accident. We have developed a system of infrared reflectance oculography IRO (OptalertTM), that makes it possible to monitor alertness/drowsiness continuously, without interfering with the driving task.
