Abstract With the onset of the new technological age, the distractions caused due to handheld devices have been a major cause of traffic accidents as they affect the decision-making capabilities of the driver and give them less time to react to difficult situations. Often drivers try to multitask which reduces their reaction time leading to accidents which could have been easily avoided if they had been attentive. As such problems are related to the driver’s negligence toward safety, a possible solution is to monitor driver’s behavior and notify if they are distracted. We propose a CapsNet-based approach for detecting the distracted driver which is a novel approach. The proposed method scores perform well on the real-world environment inputs when compared to other famous methods used for the same. Our proposed methods get high scores for all the most commonly used metrics for classification. On the testing set, the proposed method gets an accuracy of 0.90, 0.92 as precision score, 0.90 as recall score and 0.91 as F-measure.

1 Introduction According to National Safety Council, more than 390,000 injuries occur each year just from texting and driving; this number would surely go up if we consider other causes of distractions. In addition to distractions, drivers are also fatigued, and in a state of sleepiness, as per the research conducted by Sleep Research Center (UK), distracted driving was the cause for 20% of the accidents. Many studies conducted on traffic accidents have concluded that driver’s not paying attention or being sleeping is a major cause of road accidents. Many systems have been developed which try to reduce such accidents, but still we don’t have a solution which can be used uniformly in all the vehicles. In this paper, we will study what shortcomings do the existing methods have and what improvement can be made. As the root cause of such problems lies with the driver, the best way to combat distractions is to develop sy
