Abstract : This paper discusses a non-invasive and non-intrusive approach for driver fatigue detection.The fatigue condition of the driver is identified with the help of a trained neuro- fuzzy system mitigating the risk of a road accident. In this work, we have analyzed the facial temperature variations of the driver for estimating the level offatigue.Infrared sensor is used for acquisition of facial temperature of subjects and adjacent environment temperature changes. The temperature information of the subjects is segregated into facial temperature and environment temperature and is used for training the adaptive neuro fuzzy system. Therefore, the fuzzy system will provide a numerical output which helps in determiningthe fatigue condition of the subject under consideration. Hence the fuzzy system is well trained with all facial temperatures of the subject, fatigue is determined accurately.
