This study presented an algorithm to detect zigzag driving maneuver that is highly associated with vehicle crash occurrence. In general, the zigzag driving results from the driver's inattention including drowsy driving and driving while intoxicated. Therefore, the technology to detect such unsafe driving maneuver will provide us with a valuable opportunity to prevent crash in the road. The proposed detection algorithm used angular velocity data obtained from a gyro sensor. Performance evaluations of the algorithm presented promising results for the actual implementation in practice. The outcome of this study can be used as novel information contents under the ubiquitous transportation systems environment.

The purpose of this study is to develop a pulsatile drowsiness detection system that can compensate the limitations of existing camera - based or breathing pressure sensor based Drowsiness driving prevention systems. A heart rate sensor mounted on the driver's finger and an alarm system that sounds when drowsiness is detected. The heart rate sensor was used to measure pulse changes in the wrist, and an alarm system based on the Arduino, which works in conjunction with the laptop, generates an audible alarm in the event of drowsiness. In this paper, we assume that the pulse rate of the drowsy state is 60 ~ 65 times / minute, which is the middle between the awake state and the sleep state. As a result of the experiment, the alarm sounded when the driver's pulse rate was in the drowsy pulse rate range. Based on these experiments, the drowsiness detection system was able to detect the drowsiness of the driver successfully in real time. A more effective drowsiness prevention system can be developed in the future by incorporating the results of the present study on a pulse-based drowsiness prevention system in an existing drowsiness prevention system.

Recently, due to the development of related technologies for autonomous vehicles, driving work is changing more safely. However, the development of support technologies for level 5 full autonomous driving is still insufficient. That is, even in the case of an autonomous vehicle, the driver needs to drive through forward attention while driving. In this paper, we propose a method to monitor driving tasks by recognizing driver behavior. The proposed method uses pre-trained deep convolutional neural network models to recognize whether the driver's face or body has unnecessary movement. The use of pre-trained Deep Convolitional Neural Network (DCNN) models enables high accuracy in relatively short time, and has the advantage of overcoming limitations in collecting a small number of driver behavior learning data. The proposed method can be applied to an intelligent vehicle safety driving support system, such as driver drowsy driving detection and abnormal driving detection.

다양한 원인으로 매년 수많은 사람이 교통사고로 목숨을 잃거나 크게 다치곤 한다. 최근 교통사고 통계자료에 따르면 졸음운전으로 인한 교통사고가 음주운전이나, 과속보다도 높은 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 또한, 사고가 났을 때 안전벨트를 매지 않은 운전자나 동승객은 부상 정도가 훨씬 심각한 것으로 알려져 전 좌석에 안전벨트를 꼭 착용해야 하는 법도 제정되었다. 그런데도 많은 운전자 및 동승자가 안전벨트를 착용하지 않아 크게 부상을 당하는 사고는 줄지 않고 있다. 이러한 사고와 부상을 줄이기 위하여 본 논문에서는 다중 네트워크를 이용하여 운전자의 졸음 감지 및 운전자, 동승자의 안전벨트 착용 여부까지 실시간으로 판별하는 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다.

This paper propose a method to detect and track a human face using depth information as well as color images for detection of drowsy driving. It consists of a face detection procedure and a face tracking procedure. The face detection procedure basically uses the Adaboost method which shows the best performance so far. But it restricts the area to be searched as the region where the face is highly possible to exist. The face detected in the detection procedure is used as the template to start the face tracking procedure. The experimental results showed that the proposed detection method takes only about 23 % of the execution time of the existing method. In all the cases except a special one, the tracking error ratio is as low as about 1 %.

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.

In this paper, we propose a new illumination-robust drowsy driver monitoring system with single CCD(Charge Coupled Device) camera for intelligent vehicle in the day and night. For this system that is monitoring driver's eyes during a driving, the eye detection and the measure of eyelid movement are the important preprocesses. Therefore, we propose efficient illumination compensation algorithm to improve the performance of eye detection and also eyelid movement measuring method for efficient drowsy detection in various illumination. For real-time application, Cascaded SVM (Cascaded Support Vector Machine) is applied as an efficient eye verification method in this system. Furthermore, in order to estimate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we collect video data about drivers under various illuminations in the day and night. Finally, we acquired average eye detection rate of over 98% about these own data, and PERCLOS(The percentage of eye-closed time during a period) are represented as drowsy detection results of the proposed system for the collected video data.

Drowsy driving requires a lot of social attention because it increases the incidence of traffic accidents and leads to fatal accidents. The number of accidents caused by drowsy driving is increasing every year. Therefore, in order to solve this problem all over the world, research for measuring various biosignals is being conducted. Among them, this paper focuses on non-contact biosignal analysis. Various noises such as engine, tire, and body vibrations are generated in a running vehicle. To measure the driver's heart rate and respiration rate in a driving vehicle with a piezoelectric sensor, a sensor plate that can cushion vehicle vibrations was designed and noise generated from the vehicle was reduced. In addition, we developed a system for classifying whether the driver is sleeping or not by extracting the model using the CNN-LSTM ensemble learning technique based on the signal of the piezoelectric sensor. In order to learn the sleep state, the subject's biosignals were acquired every 30 seconds, and 797 pieces of data were comparatively analyzed.

In this study, a system is proposed for analyzing whether driver's eyes are open or closed on the basis of images to determine driver's drowsiness. The proposed system converts eye areas detected by a camera to a color space area to effectively detect eyes in a dark situation, for example, tunnels, and a bright situation due to a backlight. In addition, the system used a thickness distribution of a detected eye area as a feature value to analyze whether eyes are open or closed through the Support Vector Machine(SVM), representing 90.09% of accuracy. In the experiment for the images of driver wearing glasses, 83.83% of accuracy was obtained. In addition, in a comparative experiment with the existing PCA method by using Eigen-eye and Pupil Measuring System the detection rate is shown improved. After the experiment, driver's drowsiness was identified accurately by using the method of summing up the state of driver's eyes open and closes over time and the method of detecting driver's eyes that continue to be closed to examine drowsy driving.
