Fusion-Based Driver State Monitoring: A Multimodal Approach to Drowsiness Mitigation
Significance
With increases in the number of automotive accidents due to the driver being in a state of drowsiness, the proposed multimodal drowsy driver detection system directly addresses this issue by attempting to awake the driver if they are on the verge of falling asleep. By doing so, the driver regains proper control of the vehicle and awareness of their surroundings while on the road. As a result, a potential accident may be effectively averted. Furthermore, this device is relatively low-cost (around $100), and can be implemented in any car.
