Abstract EN
Driving fatigue is more likely to bring serious safety trouble to traffic.
Therefore, accurately and rapidly detecting driving fatigue state and alleviating fatigue are particularly important.
In the present work, the electrical stimulation method stimulating the Láogóng point (劳宫PC8) of human body is proposed, which is used to alleviate the mental fatigue of drivers.
The wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) is used to extract θ, α, and β subbands of drivers’ electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.
Performances of the two algorithms (θ+α)/(α+β) and θ/β are also assessed as possible indicators for fatigue detection.
Finally, the differences between the drivers with electrical stimulation and normal driving are discussed.
It is shown that stimulating the Láogóng point (劳宫PC8) using electrical stimulation method can alleviate driver fatigue effectively during longtime driving.
