Driver and pilot fatigue and incapacitation are major causes of injuries and equipment loss. A method is proposed for constant in-vehicle monitoring of alertness, including detection of drowsiness and incapacitation. Novel features of this method include increases in efficiency and specificity that allow real time monitoring in the functional environment by practicable and affordable hardware. The described approach should result in a generally deployable system with acceptable sensitivity and specificity and with capability for operator alarms and automated vehicle intervention to prevent injuries caused by reduced levels of operator performance.
驾驶员和飞行员疲劳及身体机能丧失是造成人员伤亡和设备损失的主要原因。本文提出了一种用于车内持续监测警觉性的方法，包括检测嗜睡和身体机能丧失情况。该方法的新颖之处在于提高了效率和特异性，从而能够通过实用且经济实惠的硬件在实际环境中进行实时监测。所描述的方法应能产生一个具有可接受的灵敏度和特异性、具备操作员警报功能以及自动车辆干预能力的通用可部署系统，以防止因操作员表现水平下降而导致的伤害。
