Graph-Based Recognition of Simulated Train-Driver States From Facial and Upper-Body Keypoints

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.07083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Driver fatigue poses a significant challenge to railway safety, with traditional systems like the dead-man switch offering limited and basic alertness checks. This study presents a vision-based monitoring system that relies solely on a single front-facing RGB camera and a graph neural network to classify simulated train-driver states into alert, not-alert, and an emergency class comprising acted emergency-like behaviours. To optimize input representations for the model, an ablation study was performed, comparing three feature configurations: skeletal-only, facial-only, and a combination of both. Experimental results show that combining facial and skeletal features yields the highest accuracy (81%) for the three-class model under the light c
