Development of a driver drowsiness monitoring system using electrocardiogram

Driver drowsiness has become a common issue that leads to road accidents and death. Accidents not only affect the physical body of the driver, but it also affects people in the surrounding, physical road conditions, and environments. It is proven in previous studies that biological signal are closel...

The result shows that RR Interval of a drowsy state increased almost 22% rather than in normal state. The percentage different of amplitude difference at R peak between normal and drowsy state can reach up to 36.33%.

description Driver drowsiness has become a common issue that leads to road accidents and death.

Electrocardiogram (ECG), which is an electrical indicator of the heart, provides such criteria as it reflects the heart activity.
