A Review Paper on Portable Driver Monitoring System for Real Time Fatigue

This paper describes method for detecting the problem of driver vigilance. Drivers with a low vigilance level suffer from a marked decline in their abilities of recognition the object in front of them, and vehicle control, and therefore pose serious danger to their own life and the lives of other people. With the increasing traffic conditions, this problem will further deteriorate. For this reason, developing systems which can actively monitors a driver´s level of vigilance and alerting the driver of any insecure driving conditions is essential to prevent accidents. So we planned to implements a real-time computer vision system for monitoring driver vigilance. The main components of the system consist of a video camera, a specially designed hardware system based on Raspberry Pi for real-time image processing and controlling the alarm system.
