Title: a review of driver drowsiness detection systems: techniques, advantages and limitations.

Abstract: Driver Drowsiness is one of the most factors of road accidents, leading to severe injuries and deaths every year. Drowsiness means difficulty staying awake, which can lead to falling asleep. This paper introduces a literature review of driver drowsiness detection systems based on an analysis of physiological signals, facial features, and driving patterns. The paper also presents and details the recently proposed techniques for each class. We have also provided a comparative study of recently published works regarding the accuracy, reliability, hardware requirement, and intrusiveness. We have summarized and discussed the advantages and limitations of each class. As a result, each class of techniques has advantages and limitations. A hybrid system that combines two and more techniques will be efficient, robust, accurate, and used in real-time to take advantage of each technique.

Detecting sleepiness in drivers while driving is essential in order to prevent accidents and reduce the number of mortality caused by drivers sleeping behind the wheels. With the rapid growth of the population, the number of accidents on the roads has increased dramatically, and many people have died as a result of those accidents. It’s a serious issue that needs to be addressed in order to reduce accidents. According to research conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, roughly 20% of drivers experience drowsiness while driving. These figures paint a terrible picture. This paper discusses a method for reducing accidents due to driver drowsiness. The VGG-16 architecture is used for detecting driver drowsiness and achieved 96.79% accuracy with 0.08 loss.
