PILOT FATIGUE DETECTION VIA SPEECH ANALYSIS, ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AND PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAM

<p>Fatigue plays a dangerous role in transport safety especially for the pilots since they work longest. About<br>68-91% of commercial Airline pilots have reported in-flight fatigue. Civil aircrew frequently experience<br>loss or disturbance of sleep, trans-meridian flight, irregular work-rest cycles. In as much as aviation<br>technology has exponentially evolved, the basic need for ample rest when it comes to the personnel still<br>remains. Clear links are established between circadian rhythm and accidents that occur during the Window<br>Of Circadian Low (WOCL), even after adjustment for traffic volume. In this paper, as per the title, the<br>fatigue detection and measurement methods; speech analysis, photoplethysmography and<br>electrocardiography will be analyzed. The in-depth step-by-step methodology and data analysis will also be<br>discussed.</p>
