Research on the driver fatigue monitoring method based on the Dempster-Shafer theory

Fatigue driving is one of the most important factors leading to traffic accidents. It´s of greatest significance to avoid fatigue driving and reduce traffic accidents by monitoring the state of drivers´ fatigue accurately and warning them of their fatigue. A fatigue assessment method based on the weighted Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory has been proposed by using the detected multi-source information such as the image, human pulse and the steering wheel movement in an imperceptible way so as to enhance the fatigue monitoring accuracy and system robustness.
