Abstract
Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) have become a cornerstone of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), aiming to reduce accidents caused by distraction, drowsiness, and unsafe driving behaviors.Traditional monitoring approaches, often reliant on indirect vehicle signals, have proven insufficient for real-time accuracy.With the advancement of deep learning and computer vision, vision-based systems now provide direct and reliable monitoring of driver states.This paper proposes a YOLOv12-based DMS designed for real-time, multi-class driver behavior recognition, addressing critical challenges such as low latency, false positives, and robustness under diverse environmental conditions.A custom dataset of 17,000 annotated images across four categories-Safe Driving, Distracted, Drowsy, and Smartphone Usage-was employed for training and evaluation.The proposed model achieved a precision of 95.0%, a recall of 92.5%, an F1-score of 93.7%, mAP@0.5 of 96.0%, and mAP@0.5:0.95 of 75.0%, outperforming prior YOLO versions under identical experimental conditions.These results demonstrate the superior accuracy, efficiency, and generalization capacity of YOLOv12 in handling complex visual cues, including partial occlusions and variable lighting.The system's strong performance underscores its potential as a reliable, real-time driver monitoring solution within ADAS, enabling proactive safety interventions and contributing significantly to the reduction of human-error-induced accidents on roads.
