Abstract

The driver drowsiness detection system aims to enhance road safety by preventing accidents caused by driver fatigue. Despite progress in drowsiness detection using various approaches, existing methods often lack accuracy in capturing subtle aspects like facial expressions, eye movement patterns, micro head gestures, changes in blink frequency, and variations in steering control of driver behavior can often provide crucial insights into their level of alertness and potential drowsiness while operating a vehicle. This work introduces a novel framework that combines facial landmarks and the Yolov5 architecture to enhance drowsiness detection. By extracting relevant facial features using a modified Yolov5 architecture, the system gains a comprehensive understanding of the driver's state during operation, enabling it to detect even subtle indicators of drowsiness. The framework's integration with facial landmarks allows for the observation of minute changes in facial expressions, providing valuable insights into the driver's level of alertness. The framework was evaluated on the benchmark UTA and custom dataset, where the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 95.5% and 96.4% respectively. In comparison with the state-of-the-art techniques, the proposed system achieves an improvement of 3.2%.
