Investigation of driver sleepiness in FOT data: final report of the project SleepEYE II, part 2

SleepEYE was a collaborative project between Smart Eye, Volvo Cars and VTI (the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) within the competence centre Virtual Prototyping and Assessment by Simulation (ViP). The project was carried out during the years 2009n2011, and included development of a camera-based system for driver impairment detection and development of a driver sleepiness classifier adapted for driving simulators. A continuation project called SleepEYE II was initiated in 2011. This project has included three work packages: 1) simulator validation with respect to driver sleepiness, 2) assessment of driver sleepiness in the euroFOT database using the camera system that was developed in SleepEYE, and 3) further development and refinement of the camera system. The present report documents the work that has been undertaken in work packages 2 and 3 of SleepEYE II.
