Drowsiness impairs drivers’ concentration and reaction time, doubling the risk of car accidents. Various methods for detecting drowsy driving have been proposed that rely on facial changes. However, they have poor detection for drivers wearing a mask or sunglasses, and they do not reflect the driver’s drowsiness habits. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel method to detect drowsy driving even with facial detection obstructions, such as masks or sunglasses, and regardless of the driver’s different drowsiness habits, by recognizing behavioral patterns. We achieve this by constructing both normal driving and drowsy driving datasets and developing a 3D-CNN (3D Convolutional Neural Network) model reflecting the Inception structure of GoogleNet. This binary classification model classifies normal driving and drowsy driving videos. Using actual videos captured inside real vehicles, this model achieved a classification accuracy of 85% for detecting drowsy driving without facial obstructions and 75% for detecting drowsy driving when masks and sunglasses are worn. Our results demonstrate that the behavioral pattern recognition method is effective in detecting drowsy driving.
