A WPCA-Based Method for Detecting Fatigue Driving From EEG-Based Internet of Vehicles System

Abstract

Fatigue driving is the main cause of traffic accidents. Analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has attracted wide attention for identifying fatigue driving. With the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), we hope to establish an EEG-based IoV traffic management system to improve traffic safety. In the proposed system, real-time diagnosis is a significant factor, and improvement of the detection speed is our main concern. EEG signals generate a large amount of spatially oriented data over a relatively short duration; hence, their dimension needs to be reduced effectively before being analysed. We proposes a feature reduction method, based on a novel weighted principal component analysis (WPCA) algorithm for EEG signals. First, the EEG features are extracted by an autoregressive (AR) model. Second, we calculate the influence of different features on the classified performance of fatigue state. The accuracy reduction values of different features are normalised as the weights of the features. Finally, these weights are assigned to the WPCA to reduce the EEG features. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, we carried out a simulated driving experiment involving eight participants. For comparison, power spectral density and differential entropy models were also introduced to extract EEG features. Support Vector Machine was adopted as a classifier to establish a fatigue driving classification experiment. The experimental results show that the WPCA method can effectively reduce the feature dimension of different EEG feature extraction methods, speed up calculations, and achieve a much higher classification accuracy of fatigue driving.

A Review of Recent Developments in Driver Drowsiness Detection Systems

“…The car could also be a member of an Internet of vehicle network, an IoT network involving vehicles. In such a setting, vehicles send live data that includes the driver's vital signals over a wireless medium, such as 5G [136]. The data are collected and analyzed in a traffic management platform, which, in the case of detected drowsiness, sends an alert signal to the driver to reduce the speed or park the car.…”

A Roadmap Towards Standards for Neurally Controlled End Effectors

“…Recent efforts to connect BMI to objects through the Internet provide clear evidence for the coupling of these technologies into a ‘BMI-of-things’ (BMIoT) for consumer-based [67] , [68] and healthcare applications [69] , [70] . Data transfer protocols associated with BMI coupled with IoT include: Websockets [71] , SYNAISTHISI [72] , MQTT [73] , HTTPS [70] , and added security through blockchain [74] .…”

A Fair and Ethical Healthcare Artificial Intelligence System for Monitoring Driver Behavior and Preventing Road Accidents

“…These EEG signals generate a large amount of spatially oriented data over relatively short duration. Consequently, this leads to a big data problem [4]. To overcome this, the WPCA-based feature reduction method by Dong et al can be used, which doing so allows the dimension of EEG signals to be reduced for the purpose of using it for real-time processing needed for real-time diagnosis [4].…”
