Abstract
In recent years, safety driving has attracted growing interest from the scientific and the industrial communities. This interest is meant to reduce the road accidents caused by driver behavior, fatigue, drugs, etc. Drowsy driving is one of the first factors of road accidents; it compromises driving ability by reducing alertness and attentiveness, delaying reaction times, etc. In this paper, a solution to prevent road accidents based on driver drowsiness detection that can be connected to the other Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in the vehicle network through the Controller Area Network Protocol (CAN) Bus to act on the functionalities of the vehicle when the driver starts feeling (yawning) or become drowsy has been proposed. The proposed solution has achieved an average accuracy of 99.10%. The simulation results confirm that the proposed system can efficiently detect driver drowsiness and warn the driver before anything undesired happens in order to ensure a sufficient and acceptable level of safety. A comparison with recently published works in this field is also provided.
