<STRONG>To reduce accidents caused by fatigued driving, researchers at the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have developed a system that detects drowsy drivers and alerts them using a generic smartphone.</STRONG> <P>Developed by computer science professor, Cheung Yiu-ming and his team, the system recently won two top prizes at the 45th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, and research team has already submitted a US patent application for the technology system.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The new approach adopts a smartphone’s real-time video to track and analyze the facial features of a driver, in particular the changes in their eyelids and head position, which are prominent fatigue symptoms. With this system pre-installed in a generic smartphone, a driver just has to put it near the steering wheel with the front camera facing them in their normal driving position.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG></STRONG><A href=&quot;http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=86021&quot; target=_blank><STRONG>원문보기</STRONG></A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IMG alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://cms.ukintpress.com/UserFiles/3_%20HKBU%20sleepy%20driving%20app.jpg&quot; width=525 align=left height=295></P>
