Is it enough to check if the eyes are closing for long enough? I fear that there is a "pre-sleep" status, where one is unable to drive but not with his eyes closed.
When sleepy and driving I blink more, I feel loss of motor skill, and I may give off other hints well in advance of finally closing my eyes.
When I finally close my eyes it is way too late.
To put it bluntly: I fear that checking if the eyes closed for too long is as useful as checking if the airbag has deployed.
- rubyfan 9y agoAgreed, I usually try to keep my eyes open to fool myself that I'm not sleepy. My face is probably limp though. From what I've seen from recent neural nets I believe it's possible to detect the pre-sleep phase given a training set of faces prior to dozing. Seems like that would be a hard data set to come by though.
