| Abstract |
Background. When operating cars, drivers often face situations that can lead to serious road traffic accidents (RTA). Thus, an urgent task is to develop a system for monitoring the condition of a car driver.
Materials and methods. The development of monitoring systems shows that tracking with a video camera only the driver's face or fixing only the movement parameters does not allow an accurate assessment of the driver's condition. The problem is the reliability of recognition of the dangerous state of the driver in various climatic and road conditions. To solve this problem, a monitoring system was developed based on the combination of various sensors in one system.
Results. To monitor the driver's condition in order to improve road safety, a system has been developed, consisting of a control unit and two video cameras, and allows reliably detecting the dangerous state of the driver in various climatic and road conditions.
Conclusion. Thus, the driver control system will provide a significant reduction in the number of accidents, especially on suburban roads.
