지난 5년 (2016~2020년) 간 고속도로 교통사고 사망자 1,035명 중 약 70%(722명)가 졸음 및 주시 태만으로 인해 발생하였다. 졸음운전 사고를 예방하기 위해 졸음 쉼터나 휴게소 등이 있지만 활용률이 높은 편은 아니다. 해당 문제 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 자동차 내부에서 즉각적으로 졸음을 판별해 알람을 제공하는 알람 기능을 구현하였다. 차량에 웹캠과 CO₂ 농도 측정기를 설치하여 웹캠으로는 운전자의 눈 종횡비를 계산하여 졸음을 판단하고 CO₂ 센서로 차량 내부 CO₂ 농도를 측정하여 운전자의 졸음을 판단하여 경고음과 음성 경고 메시지를 출력함과 동시에 창문 개폐 기능으로 잠을 깨워주기 때문에 교통사고 발생률 저하에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

한국도로공사가 제공하는 자료에 따르면 운전자 4명 중 1명은 졸음운전을 경험해 보았다고 말한다. 또한, 졸음운전 사고의 치사율은 건당 4명으로 전체 교통사고 치사율의 2배이며, 그 위험성은 음주운전보다 크다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 졸음운전 감지 시스템이 국내외에서 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 졸음운전 감지 시스템과 더불어 졸음운전을 예방하는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다.

This study investigated current status of rest area for drowsy drivers on the highways and drew the related issues to define specifications and design criteria regarding expressway rest area for drowsy drivers on the highways. Based on the investigation result, geometric structure specifications and improvement plans are suggested. The entry part of a rest area for drowsy drivers on the highways was divided into deceleration transition section, deceleration lane and entry connection road while the exit part was divided into exit connection road, acceleration lane and acceleration transition section. The optimum length was estimated by considering the main lane vehicle traveling speed, traveling speed at the beginning/end point of entry/exit connection roads, deceleration and acceleration. In addition, reasonable design criteria were suggested by dividing the parking section of rest area for drowsy drivers according to parking style and cross-section composition, and length of parking space and then considering the ratio of vehicles using rest area for drowsy drivers, the ratio of heavy vehicles, and the design speed within a rest area for drowsy drivers. It is believed that the suggested design criteria on rest area for drowsy drivers on the highways can be utilized in the future planning and maintenance of rest area for drowsy drivers. Additionally, the defined criteria on installing rest area for drowsy drivers on the highways will prevent traffic accidents in resting facilities and highways as well as improve usage and safety of them.

In the past 10 years, the accidents caused by drowsy driving have occupied about 23% of all traffic accidents in Korea expressway network and this rate is the highest one among all accident causes. Unlike other types of accidents caused by speeding and distraction to the road, the accidents by drowsy driving should be managed differently because the drowsiness might not be controlled by human's will. To reduce the number of accidents caused by drowsy driving, researchers previously focused on the spot based analysis. However, what we actually need is a segment (link) and occurring time based analysis, rather than spot based analysis. Hence, this research performs initial effort by adapting link concept in terms of drowsy driving on highway. First of all, we analyze the accidents caused by drowsy in historical accident data along with their road environments. Then, links associate with driving time are analyzed using digital tachograph (DTG) data. To carry this out, negative binomial regression models, which are broadly used in the field, including highway safety manual, are used to define the relationship between the number of traffic accidents on expressway and drivers' behavior derived from DTG. From the results, empirical Bayes (EB) and potential for safety improvement (PSI) analysis are performed for potential risk segments of accident caused by drowsy driving on the future. As the result of traffic accidents caused by drowsy driving, the number of the traffic accidents increases with increase in annual average daily traffic (AADT), the proportion of trucks, the amount of DTG data, the average proportion of speeding over 20km/h, the average proportion of deceleration, and the average proportion of sudden lane-changing.

Out-of-home (Out-of-Home) advertising can be an effective means of delivering messages for preventing drowsy driving, given that it is exposed at locations and times where vehicle traffic occurs. This study investigated the influence of message framing of drowsy driving prevention OOH advertising and regulatory focus on the intention to drowsy driving prevention behaviors by an experimental study targeting 200 university students. The results showed an interaction effect between message framing and regulatory focus on the intention to drowsy driving prevention behaviors. While no significant differences were observed in the intention to drowsy driving prevention behaviors based on regulatory focus for positively framed messages, for negatively framed messages, a higher intention was observed when the prevention focus group rather than promotion focus group. This study focuses on two key areas: how messages are crafted (message framing) and the characteristics of the people who receive them (regulatory focus). By exploring these aspects, it provides valuable theoretical and practical knowledge. Essentially, it opens doors for creating message strategies that are finely tailored to suit the preferences of the audience. This advancement is vital for researchers and practitioners as it enhances the effectiveness of communication efforts.

In this paper, a driver's drowsy detection sensor system based on the respiration is investigated. The sensor system consists of a piezoelectric pressure sensor attached at the abdominal region of the seat belt and a personal computer. The piezoelectric pressure sensor was utilized for the measurement of pressure variations induced by the movement of the driver abdomen during breathing. The signal processing software for detecting driver's drowsiness was produced using the Labview. The experiments were performed with 30 years male driver. The amplitude of the respiration at awake state was larger than one at the drowsy state. On the contrary, the respiration rate at awake state was lower than one at the drowsy state. The drowsy detection sensor system developed based on the experimental could successfully detect the driver's drowsy on real-time.

One of the main reasons for serious road accidents is driving while drowsy. For this reason, drowsiness detection and warning system for drivers has recently become a very important issue. Monitoring physiological signals provides the possibility of detecting features of drowsiness and fatigue of drivers. One of the effective signals is to measure electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and electrooculogram (EOG) signals. The aim of this study is to extract drowsiness-related features from a set of EEG signals and to classify the features into three states: alertness, drowsiness, sleepiness. This paper proposes a drowsiness detection system using Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) coefficients and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Samples of EEG data from each predefined state were used to train the SVM program by using the proposed feature extraction algorithms. The trained SVM program was tested on unclassified EEG data and subsequently reviewed according to manual classification. The classification rate of the proposed system is over 96.5% for only very small number of samples (250ms, 64 samples). Therefore, it can be applied to real driving incident situation that can occur for a split second.

Drowsy driving, one of the biggest causes of traffic accidents every year, is accompanied by various factors. As a general method to check whether or not there is drowsiness, a method of identifying a driver's expression and driving pattern, and a method of analyzing bio-signals are being studied. This paper proposes a driver fatigue detection system using deep learning technology and bio-signal measurement technology. As the first step in the proposed method, deep learning is used to detect the driver's eye shape, yawning presence, and body movement to detect drowsiness. In the second stage, it was designed to increase the accuracy of the system by identifying the driver's fatigue state using the pulse wave signal and body temperature. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to reliably determine the driver's drowsiness and fatigue in real-time images.
