In recent years, a significant increase in road accidents worldwide has been observed. This can partly be due to either driver distraction or fatigue. Therefore, a reliable alerting system that can detect the driver's inattention including fatigue, sleep, and distraction is necessarily required to prevent any potential accidents. The aim of this paper is to conduct a systematic review of literature (SLR) on monitoring driver inattention. In particular, the present study deals with different aspects of prior studies such as the sensors used; the types of data, the feature engineering techniques, the machine-learning techniques applied and their performance along with, the dataset used, etc. anotherFour approaches can be depicted from literature according to indicators they are based on: physiological, physical, driver performance and hybrid approach. We will focus on these different approaches in order to answer different questions, starting with the type of indicators used in the case of distraction or fatigue detection, the different datasets employed, the feature extraction techniques and the machine learning models applied. Furthermore, the study examines the practicality and reliability of each of the four approaches, as well as possible future prospects in the area, and highlights new challenges in the field of driver inattention detection with both forms of fatigue and distraction.
