Simulator test and evaluation of a drowsy driver detection system and revisions to drowsiness detection algorithms
This study was undertaken to simulator test and evaluate a complete drowsy driver detection system. The goal of the study was to recommend optimal specifications for a system to be further studied in an actual vehicle. The system used a set of algorithms developed from previously collected data and …
