Abstract

Driver fatigue is one of the significant risk factors that occur on the roads; therefore, there is a need to have efficient detection systems. Existing detection systems face noise interference in EEG data, limited generalizability, and high computational requirements. This paper outlines the procedure to classify driver fatigue into different levels by developing a DBN-DQN model coupled with the improved Morlet wavelet transform and a z-score technique to increase recognition efficiency and address these challenges. The DBN-DQN model achieves outstanding results: 99.95% accuracy, 99. 91% precision, 99. 99% recall rate, while the F1-score was 99.95%. Results of the ROC curve of each fold further validate the model with an AUC of 1.00, distinguishing that the technique proved effective for identifying driver fatigue.
