BACKGROUND Experimental studies have shown a decrease in driving performance at high temperatures. The epidemiological evidence for the relationship between heat and motor vehicle crashes is not consistent. OBJECTIVES We estimated the impact of high ambient temperatures on the daily number of motor vehicle crashes and, in particular, on crashes involving driver performance factors (namely dis...

Drowsiness while driving is a major cause of accidents. A driver fatigue detection system that is designed to sound an alarm, when appropriate, can prevent many accidents that sometime leads to the loss of life and property. In this paper, we classify drowsiness detection sensors and their strong and weak points. A compound model is proposed that uses image processing techniques to study the dy...

Identification of driver state is a desirable element of many proposed vehicle active safety systems (e.g., collision detection and avoidance, automated highway, and road departure warning systems). In this paper, driver state assessment is considered in the context of a road departure warning and intervention system. A system identification approach, using vehicle lateral position as the input...

reviews in many countries indicate that drivers often talk on mobile (cell) phones. studies have been done on possible effects of concurrent mobile phone use on driving performance. previous studies have found that phone talking could impairs performance on simulated or instrumented driving tasks, using such measures as reaction time, following distance, and situational awareness. most of these...

Traffic accidents on the highway are common. One of causes is fatigue factor driver so that his driving concentration will decrease. The condition in occurs due to decreased levels oxygen blood (SpO2). This application monitor driver's level done by installing a heart rate sensor and saturation (SpO2) wrist. measurement results displayed an OLED screen contains rate, fatigue. If at high then th...
