Abstract : Human drowsiness or fatigue required various approaches to be detected before or during the driving process. Nowadays, many people have managed to acquire personal vehicles which they use to travel around different regions. Arriving alive and on time is a crucial goal for all drivers en route. Drowsiness can be caused by long driving and lack of adequate rest. Several metrics proven to detect drowsy driving include eye detection and heart rate variability. Driving behavior like lane departure, use of indicators, braking and steering handle could also be used. The objective of this work is to develop drowsiness detection, a prediction system that integrates eye detection, mouth detection and heart rate variability, which is the behavioral and physiological approach. The system should keep track of the driver's behavior and concentration while driving and give a voice warning or alarm whenever drowsiness is detected.
