Driver State Modelling (DMS)

Description:
The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) estimates driver physiological and behavioural states including drowsiness and visual distraction. It is a vision-based system that uses a camera integrated into the cockpit observing the driver’s
face. The system detects, tracks the driver’s face and computes features as eye closure, eye/head gaze, head pose required to model the different driver states. DMS is fully automatic, works in real time by night and day conditions. The Automate Human Machine Interaction (HMI) module makes use of the state estimation to adapt the takeover strategies and warnings. The following basic use case illustrates this interaction: when the vehicle is in automation mode the HMI shall not give back the control of the vehicle to an inattentive or sleepy driver.
