Abstract

Globally traffic accidents are influenced by factors such as drowsiness and alcohol consumption. Consequently, there has been a considerable focus on the development of detection systems as part of ongoing efforts to mitigate these risks. This review paper aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of various drowsiness and alcohol detection methods. The paper particularly emphasizes drowsiness and alcohol detection methods, including those centered on sensor-based approaches, physiological-based techniques, and visual analysis of the eye and mouth state. The aim is to evaluate their method, effectiveness and highlight recent advancements within this domain. Additionally, this review paper evaluates the research gaps of these detection methods, considering factors such as precision, sensitivity, specificity, and adaptability to different environmental conditions.

Abstract

Driver drowsiness and alcohol impairment are major causes of traffic accidents, making road safety a main concern. This study highlights the importance of addressing these issues through improved driver monitoring technologies. A prototype combining MQ-3 alcohol sensors, and facial detection was created, integrating with IoT via a Raspberry Pi to monitor and alert on drowsiness and alcohol levels. The developments use the NTHU-DDD dataset, which supports a supervised learning approach to develop a reliable drowsiness detection model. The study explored various machine learning algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Gradient Boosting Classifier, and Gaussian Naive Bayes, with Random Forest and Gradient Boosting emerging as top performers, particularly suited to complex non-linear data. The system effectively used supervised learning techniques to differentiate drowsy and non-drowsy images and exhibited consistent accuracy in detecting drowsiness, especially when the driver’s face was centered. However, accuracy decreased when faces were tilted, highlighting areas for refinement. Moreover, the environmental tests on the MQ-3 sensor demonstrated its sensitivity to alcohol presence, even distinguishing the intensity based on beverage type and concentration. The findings underscore the efficacy of using sensor-based technologies in real-world conditions and provide a foundation for optimizing the system's detection capabilities across various scenarios.
