- Abstract summary: We present a system for in-vehicle alertness monitoring for older adults.
We implemented a prototype traveler monitoring system and evaluated the alertness detection algorithm on ten older adults (70 years and older.
This study is the first of its kind for a hitherto under-studied population and has implications for future work on algorithm development and system design through participatory methods.

- Abstract: Alertness monitoring in the context of driving improves safety and saves
lives. Computer vision based alertness monitoring is an active area of
research. However, the algorithms and datasets that exist for alertness
monitoring are primarily aimed at younger adults (18-50 years old). We present
a system for in-vehicle alertness monitoring for older adults. Through a design
study, we ascertained the variables and parameters that are suitable for older
adults traveling independently in Level 5 vehicles. We implemented a prototype
traveler monitoring system and evaluated the alertness detection algorithm on
ten older adults (70 years and older). We report on the system design and
implementation at a level of detail that is suitable for the beginning
researcher or practitioner. Our study suggests that dataset development is the
foremost challenge for developing alertness monitoring systems targeted at
older adults. This study is the first of its kind for a hitherto under-studied
population and has implications for future work on algorithm development and
system design through participatory methods.

Many factors can contribute to distractions while driving, since objects or events to physiological conditions, as drowsiness and fatigue, do not allow the driver to stay attentive.
The technological progress allowed the development and application of many solutions to detect the attention in real situations.

COVID-19 has forced everyone to stay indoors, fabricating a significant drop in physical activeness.
Our work is constructed upon the idea to formulate a backbone mechanism, to detect levels of activeness in real-time, using a single monocular image of a target person.
We propose a Computer Vision based multi-stage approach, wherein the pose of a person is first detected, encoded with a novel approach, and then assessed by a classical machine learning algorithm to determine the level of activeness.
An alerting system is wrapped around the approach to provide a solution to inhibit lethargy by sending notification alerts to individuals involved.
