Eye state recognition is one of the main stages of many image processing systems such as driver drowsiness detection system and closed-eye photo correction. Driver drowsiness is one of the main causes in the road accidents around the world. In these circumstances, a fast and accurate driver drowsiness detection system can prevent these accidents. In this article, we proposed a fast algorithm fo...

sleep deprivation is a condition of not having enough sleep it can be either chronic or acute. a chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue. fatigue is a subjective state related to sleep deprivation, the more someone is deprived of sleep the more likely that person is to be fatigued. several studies indicated that drowsiness/fatigue can affect steering performance and speed control. rese...

Drowsiness varies continuously during daily activities, influencing both efficiency of daily behavior and sleep initiation. Yet, brain and behavioral dynamics underlying wake-sleep transitions, leading to the loss of perceptual awareness, are largely unknown in humans. Across levels of drowsiness we measured muscle and brain responses as participants attempted to detect their own hand movements...

This paper highlights evidence from several instrumented vehicle studies that crash risk varies significantly among commercial truck drivers, and also cites findings from surveys of fleet safety managers and other experts on the topic of individual differences in commercial driver crash risk. Within various subject groups, 10-15% of the drivers typically account for 30-50% of the crash risk. Th...

In this paper we present an adaptive driver alert system that uses passive techniques for extracting psycho-physiological features from the user, and a head-up display actuator that hands preprocessed information about the driving behavior back to the user. The paper starts with background information on driver inattentiveness. That followed we present our conception of an adaptive loop with a ...

Drowsiness is one of the major causes driver-induced traffic accidents. The interactive systems developed to reduce road accidents by alerting drivers called as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). most important ADAS are Lane Departure Warning System, Front Collision System and Systems. In this study, an system based on eye state detection presented detect driver drowsiness. First, Viola...

This paper is the culmination of previous work to determine if steering behavior could be used to unobtrusively detect driver fatigue. The driving performance of 17 sleep-deprived heavy-truck drivers was monitored on a closed track. Functions in the time, frequency, and phase domains were developed to quantify changes in steering wheel input. The steering-based weighting functions which correla...

Drowsy driving is among the most critical causes of fatal crashes. Thus, the development of an effective algorithm for detecting a driver’s cognitive state demands immediate attention. For decades, studies have observed clear evidence using electroencephalography that the brain’s rhythmic activities fluctuate from alertness to drowsiness. Recognition of this physiological signal is the major co...
