Overview
In the article, the new possibility of registration of fatigue is described. The optoelectronic apparatus records the eye-blink rate which serves as an objective indicator of person’s fatigue, especially at night. The results show that frequency of eye-blink rate is faster in the night than in the day. Described method can be used in drivers, which will be informed by warning acoustic signal about the risk of falling asleep when the frequency of eye-blink will reach individually critical level.
Keywords:
eye-blink rate monitoring, fatigue, car drivers
