In recent days, the driver’s fault accounted for about 77.5% of the total road accidents that are happening every day. There are several methods for the driver’s fatigue detection. These are based on the movement of the eye ball using eye blinking sensor, heart beat measurement using Electro Cardio Gram, mental status analysis using ElectroEncephaloGram, muscle cramping detection, etc. However the above said methods are more complicated and create inconvenience for the driver to drive the vehicle. Also, these methods are less accurate. In this work, an accurate method is adopted to detect the driver’s fatigue based on status of the eyes using Iris recognition and the results shows that the proposed method is more accurate (about 80%) compared to the existing methods such as Eye blink Sensor method.
