Number of accidents during driving is increasing day by day and drowsy driving has been implicated as a causal factor in many accidents. Goal of driver drowsiness detection systems is to reduce these accidents. It has been seen that most of the accidents occur due to driver’s fatigue and a small due to inattention factor, therefore this paper reviews driver’s fatigue monitoring techniques in de...

Driver hypovigilance, often caused by fatigue and/or drowsiness, receives increasing attention in the last years; especially after it became evident that hypovigilance is a one of the major factor causing traffic accidents. Monitoring and detecting driver hypovigilance could contribute significantly to improve road traffic safety. This paper proposes fast methods to identify drowsiness and fati...

Most driver-monitoring systems have attempted to detect either driver drowsiness or distraction, although both factors should be considered for accident prevention. Therefore, we propose a new drivermonitoring me...

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...

Due to the increasing growth in population, the occurrence of vehicle accidents has also seen an increase. A detailed analysis shows that, around half million accidents occur in a year, in India alone. Drowsiness and sleeping while driving are now identified as one of the reasons behind fatal crashes and highway accidents caused by drivers. Various drowsiness detection techniques researched are...

The proposed system aims to lessen the number of accidents that occur due drivers’ drowsiness and fatigue, which will in turn increase transportation safety. This is becoming a common reason for recent times. Several faces body gestures are considered such as signs fatigue drivers, including tiredness eyes yawning. These features an indication driver’s condition improper. EAR (Eye Aspect Ratio)...
