The article presents analysis of road crash accidents. It the evolution safety systems, starting from a description curently used vehicle-based with particular emphasis on prediction driver falling asleep. also proposes proprietary system sleep based face detection drivers. facial landmarks is presented as two-step process: an algorithm finds faces in general, and then needs to localize key str...

Driver fatigue and lack of sleep of drivers especially those who drive for a longer period of time as train accidents are a longer standing problem.

Sleepiness is rarely well recognised as a causing factor of traffic accidents. 2.5% up to 20% people suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with sleep deprivation as its most frequent cause.

Rook theory has been investigated by many people since its introduction by Kaplansky and Riordan in 1946. Goldman, Joichi and White in 1975 showed that the sum over k of the product of the (n− k)-th rook numbers multiplied by the k-th falling factorial polynomials factorize into a product. In the sequel, different types of generalizations and analogues of this product formula have been derived ...
