Development of a drowsiness warning system based on the fuzzy logic

Abstract

Nowadays, driving support systems, such as car navigation systems, are getting common, and they support drivers in several aspects. It is important for driving support systems to detect status of driver's consciousness. Particularly, detecting driver's drowsiness could prevent drivers from collisions caused by drowsy driving. In this paper, we discuss a system and a method for detecting driver's drowsiness, which uses the Image processing and Fuzzy logic to detect Driver"s drowsiness.
