Driver sleepiness is one of the most contributing factors in car accidents. Preventions to this problem have been made with various types of driver’s sleepiness detection system, such as systems based on face detection and electrocardiography approaches. However, these approaches require sophisticated systems and impractical design that are not suitable for the low-cost wearable device for daily use. Photoplethysmography based sensor is very favorable to be implemented in the low-cost wearable device to monitor the driver’s heart rate due to its reliability in measurement and simplicity in design. In this study we propose a photoplethysmography based wearable device that is low-cost, wearable, simple to build, and good reliability. We have shown that our wearable device exhibits less than 4% difference in average heart rate with the standard instruments, moreover, our low-cost wearable device is successfully detecting sleepiness based on heart rate reduction of the subjects, which in sleepy condition the heart rate decreases typically ~30 % from the normal condition. Here, we design a sleepiness detection device with 3 levels of sleepiness alarm based on heart rate reduction, furthermore, our wearable device is low-cost and practical to be used daily for the car driver.
