Driver Drowsiness Detection using Evolutionary Machine Learning: A Survey

Abstract

One of the factors that kills hundreds of people every year is driving accidents caused by drowsy drivers. There are different methods to prevent this type of accidents. Recently Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) have emerged as very effective and valuable approaches for detecting driver drowsiness. Moreover, the optimization of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models may be achieved through the utilization of evolutionary algorithms (EA). This survey aims to offer an overview of recent studies in driver drowsiness detection-based machine learning and deep learning models that have been improved by EA. This survey divides the approaches for detecting drowsiness into two groups: those that rely on ML, and DL, and those that rely on models-based deep learning and machine learning that are optimized by evolutionary algorithms.
