Driver Drowsiness Detection Systems: Potential of Smart Wearable Devices to Improve Vehicle Safety

  • Thomas Kundinger

Research output: ThesisDoctoral thesis

Abstract

Driver drowsiness is a major cause of fatal traffic accidents. Automated driving might counteract this problem in the end by taking over more and more the driving task and reducing human-made errors in this way. However, in the lower levels of automation, the driver is still responsible as a fallback authority. Consequently, systems for the reliable monitoring and detection of the driver's current state, especially regarding the risk factor drowsiness, are required. [...]
