1.17 million people die in road crashes around the world each year. It is estimated that up to 30 % of these fatalities are caused by fatigue and inattention. This paper presents preliminary results of an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) project that has fused an integrated visual driver monitoring and lane tracking system, which was successfully used to close the loop between vision inside and outside the vehicle. It was found that the lane tracking system benefited greatly from the cue fusion and particle filtering technologies used and was shown to perform robustly in a number of situations. A strong correlation was found to exist between the eye gaze direction of the driver and the curvature of the road, while the repeatability of the experiments was high. The applications of such a system are numerous, possibly the most important being driver warning systems of the future. Experimental results of the active stereo-vision lane tracking System will be discussed focusing on the particle filter and cue fusion technology used. The results from the integration of the lane tracker and the driver monitoring system are presented with an analysis of the driver's visual behaviour in several different scenarios.
