Abstract

Drowsy driving can lead to accidents. Therefore, finding methods by which drowsy driving can be prevented is essential. This paper proposes a method of detecting drowsy driving that utilizes the Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF), and LF/HF values of photoplethysmography (PPG) signals measured on fingers and earlobes. In experiments conducted, of 20 subjects, drowsiness was identified in 14 through PPG signals from their fingers. Further, of those 14 drowsy drivers, PPG signals from the earlobes of eight were also used to determine whether they were drowsy while driving.
