TLDR
A system which would efficiently detect drowsiness by integrating the real-time EEG method of detection and the concept of individual-level Hypothesized Variable Speed Limit (HVSL) is proposed.Abstract:
Drowsiness is one of the most prevalent causes of car accidents, especially after drunk driving. There have been many studies to detect drowsiness while driving using different approaches. We propose a system which would efficiently detect drowsiness by integrating the real-time EEG method of detection and our concept of individual-level Hypothesized Variable Speed Limit (HVSL). By studying the power spectral density obtained from the driver’s EEG and the overall duration of the persistence of the alpha waves, it can be determined whether the driver is going into a state of drowsiness or not. In response to elongated time periods of persisting alpha waves, an alarm will be put off to alert the driver. The HVSL module would recommend an appropriate speed depending on environmental conditions as well as drowsy level, thus monitoring the vehicle speed. Hence, drowsiness detection can be combined with HVSL system to mitigate the chances of potential accidents.read more

Can SVM be used for automatic EEG detection of drowsiness during car driving
TL;DR: This study shows that automatic analysis and detection of EEG changes is possible by SVM and SVM is a good candidate for developing pre-emptive automatic drowsiness detection systems for driving safety.

TL;DR: It is suggested that driver sleepiness-related problems tend to be shared by many of the professional drivers, rather than being a "specific" and permanent problem for a smaller portion of drivers.

Driver drowsiness detection using EEG power spectrum analysis
TL;DR: The findings of this study conclude that alpha and theta band powers increase significantly when a subject moves from alert state to drowsy state and can be used to prevent road accidents caused by driver drowsiness.
