Abstract

Driver fatigue is one the leading causes of car accidents in the world. The system aims to reduce the number of road accidents by detecting drowsiness and alerting the driver. The purpose of this paper is to develop a driver fatigue detection system. This system uses eye blinking frequency and yawning frequency of the driver to analyze drowsy driver and based on the level of drowsiness system will alert the driver. Driver’s facial features are captured by using a camera then this video input is used by system to monitor the driver's eyes to detect early stages of sleep as well as short periods of sleep; for video capturing system uses mobile phone camera making system portable and cost effective. Working of proposed system is based on the driver drowsiness detection method using Haar Cascade frontal face Classifier to detect the frontal facial structure followed by using dlib and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to extract information from sequence of images (video frames) for predicting driver fatigue.
