Drowsiness, among drivers, plays a role in causing road accidents leading to loss of life, injuries, and financial setbacks. To address the issue of driver fatigue related accidents it is crucial to develop methods for detecting driver fatigue. This survey paper presents an overview of approaches used to identify driver fatigue. These approaches can be grouped into three categories: Behavioural, Vehicular and Physiological parameters. Behavioural parameters, such as eye closure percentage, blink rate patterns, yawning, head movements and facial expressions offer intrusive techniques that examine the physical state of the driver's body and provide information about their drowsiness level. Vehicular parameter-based techniques evaluate drowsiness by observing vehicle behaviour such as lane deviations, pedal usage, and unpredictable steering movements. Physiological indicators are also employed to detect tiredness. The paper also discusses the methodology employed in the research study including image processing techniques classifiers used and measurement metrics utilized, proposed methodology of fatigue detection with adding some extra features and Lastly the paper presents conclusions based on a study that can guide future researchers in identifying potential areas for further exploration in this field.
