The document discusses a research project that aims to improve driver drowsiness and distraction detection through sensor fusion. It describes collecting data from drivers on test routes to train and optimize a classifier. Multiple indicators of drowsiness are measured, like blink duration and lane keeping variability. A support vector machine is used to fuse the sensor data and find the optimal detection threshold. The goal is to enhance overall detection performance by combining data from different sensors and reducing false alerts. Evaluation involves calculating the sensitivity and specificity of detection compared to a ground truth scale.
