Abstract-Lane-keeping assistance systems for vehicles may be more acceptable to users if the assistance was adaptive to the driver's state. To adapt systems in this way, a method for detection of driver distraction is needed. Thus, we propose a novel technique for on-line detection of driver's distraction, modeling the long-range temporal context of driving and head tracking data. We show that Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks enable a reliable, subject-independent detection of inattention with an accuracy of up to 96.6 %. Thereby our LSTM framework significantly outperforms conventional approaches such as Support Vector Machines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
