Key result
The proposed driver fatigue and emotional state detection method achieved an accuracy rate of 73.32% on the Fer2013 dataset.
Why the study?
Driver fatigue and unpleasant emotions increase driving risks, but existing models rarely combine detection of both states and recognition accuracy can be improved.
A novel time series fusion method combining driver fatigue and emotion detection achieved 73.32% accuracy for emotion recognition, offering a potential tool for assisted safe driving.

Studies have shown that driver fatigue or unpleasant emotions significantly increase driving risks. Detecting driver emotions and fatigue states and providing timely warnings can effectively minimize the incidence of traffic accidents. However, existing models rarely combine driver emotion and fatigue detection, and there is space to improve the accuracy of recognition. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive and efficient detection method for driver fatigue and emotional state, which is the first time to combine them in the detection of driver state. Firstly, the captured video image sequences are preprocessed, and Dlib (image open source processing library) is used to locate face regions and mark key points; secondly, facial features are extracted, and fatigue indicators, such as driver eye closure time (PERCLOS) and yawn frequency are calculated using the dual-threshold method and fused by mathematical methods; thirdly, an improved lightweight RM-Xception convolutional neural network is introduced to identify the driver’s emotional state; finally, the two indicators are fused based on time series to obtain a comprehensive score for evaluating the driver’s state. The results show that the fatigue detection algorithm proposed in this paper has high accuracy, and the accuracy of the emotion recognition network reaches an accuracy rate of 73.32% on the Fer2013 dataset. The composite score calculated based on time series fusion can comprehensively and accurately reflect the driver state in different environments and make a contribution to future research in the field of assisted safe driving.
