The majority of road accidents can be prevented by passive and active safety
designs and systems present in today's modem passenger car and by road
infrastructure improvements. However, large part of the accident risk depends on
the driver status and vigilance, no matter how well the car is equipped and how
safe the roads are. It is believed that an underestimated 20% of accidents are due
to lack of sleep, inattentiveness and lack of vigilance, which can be summarized
under impaired driving.
In this study, a driver vigilance monitoring system is developed and its
performance is tested applying signal processing, computer vision, and artificial
intelligence state-of-the-art methods. [Continues.]
