Drowsiness is the state where a person is almost asleep or very lightly asleep. It refers to an inability to keep awake. In this thesis drowsiness and sleepiness are considered synonymous, but the term drowsiness will be used. Another concept commonly used is fatigue, which is an extreme tiredness that comes from physical or mental activity. Drowsiness can also be described by the grade of wake...

The increase in vehicle accidents due to the driver drowsiness over the last years highlights the need for developing reliable drowsiness assistant systems by a reference drowsiness measure. Therefore, the thesis at hand is aimed at classifying the driver vigilance state based on eye movements using electrooculography (eog). In order to give an insight into the states of driving, which lead to ...

ABSTRACT Absence of forbearance among drivers, fatigue and irresponsible behaviour drivers result in countless fatal crashes road traffic injuries. Driver drowsiness is a highly problematic issue which impairs judgment decision making resulting motor crashes. This paper describes simple detection approach for smartphone with Android application using Studio 3.6.1 Mobile Vision API before while ...

Objective: The aim of this work is to develop a new index to assess the alertness state of drivers based on the respiratory dynamics derived from an inductive band. Background: Detection of drowsiness while driving is a leading objective in advanced driver assistance systems. A biomedical variable like thoracic effort, which is related to autonomic nervous system, provides direct information of...

Field operational testing for the study of driver behavior requires extensive preparation and precaution measures to limit subjects risk exposure during experiment. Moreover, inherent variability in testing conditions may introduce error in the experiment results. Alternatively, a driving simulator offers the ability to replicate driving situations in a safe and repeatable experimental environm...
