ABSTRACT
This paper presents a safety driving system that uses a seat belt vibration as a stimulating device for awakening drivers. the vibration stimulus was composed of pulsation tension, which was applied by the seat belt motor retractor. Magnitude duration and repetition rate of the additional tension were the major parameters that determined the awakening effect of the stimulator. We constructed a driving stimulator, which was able to induce driver’s drowsiness in the experiment using the driving stimulator the driver’s drowsiness was detected by changes in the driver’s body movements measured by electrooculography (eog) and/or changes in facial expression of the driver monitored by the ex-parameters through a video camera, subjective evaluation, and lane deviation.
