Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to protect the drowsiness of a driver. We measured the physiological signals, response time, and ace expression of the subjects in normal and drowsy state. Those data are used to establish the drowsiness index and fuzzy system. We employed the computer vision technology to extract and eye, track eyelids and measure the parameters related to drowsiness. These parameters were ed into the fuzzy system to decide the drowsiness level, When the drowsiness was detected, the fuzzy system generated warning signals which cons ist of sound and fragrance. Our system was available in decision of the drowsiness level and improvement of subjects' state.
