Conclusion and Future Work
Contribution• Emerging framework for driver status monitoring and intention
detection with multi-sensor soft-computing system
• Classification of three different drowsiness levels with up to 98.9% accuracy based on data sets of five test subjects.
Future work• Validation with more statistics and with data from real vehicles
• Variance compensation by adaptive learning
• Optimization of feature selection with sophisticated heuristics
• Utilization of other advanced classification techniques, e.g., SVM
• Integration of more embedded sensors with wireless technology
