Multimodal Instrumentations as Fatigue Detection Using Fuzzy Logic Method

Abstract

Fatigue is a condition experienced by a person that causes a decrease in a person's vitality and productivity. Fatigue can be characterized by slowed reaction time and fatigue. People’s condition is a significant factor in driving safety. Based on this increase in the number of accidents according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), experts conducted research on detecting fatigue that often occurs. In this study, a system that can detect fatigue is developed using parameters obtained from physiological indicators such as heart signals by using the Low Frequency/High Frequency ratio parameter, muscle signals using the average frequency domain of the muscle signal and oxygen saturation. The detection tool in this study uses the ECG Click Module, EMG Click Module, and Oximeter Click which will be connected to the ARM microcontroller, namely STM32F407ZG. The parameters that have been obtained are processed using the Fuzzy Logic method to determine the level of fatigue. Based on the tests results carried out on three subjects, parameter values were obtained where in the subject the three parameters entered into fuzzy logic, it was found that the three subjects were detected in a fairly tired state. The aggregated output that found from subject A was 0.6303, the aggregated output of subject B was 0.77948, and the aggregated output of subject C was 0.79188. Furthermore for future research development, the signal processing can be done more complex, besides that signal processing and fuzzy logic processing can be embedded so the process runs in realtime.
