Abstract:
An evaluation engine has two or more modules to assist a driver of a vehicle. A driver drowsiness module analyzes monitored features of the driver to recognize two or more levels of drowsiness of the driver of the vehicle. The driver drowsiness module evaluates drowsiness of the driver based on observed body language and facial analysis of the driver. The driver drowsiness module is configured to analyze live multi-modal sensor inputs from sensors against at least one of i) a trained artificial intelligence model and ii) a rules based model while the driver is driving the vehicle to produce an output comprising a driver drowsiness-level estimation. A driver assistance module provides one or more positive assistance mechanisms to the driver to return the driver to be at or above the designated level of drowsiness.
