AB  - Drowsy driving is a major cause of traffic accidents. Eye blinking is considered 
      as important evidence of driver drowsiness. In this paper, a portable and low 
      cost device for monitoring a driver's drowsiness is proposed. The proposed system 
      consists of two main parts that detect eye blinking based on IR sensors mounted 
      on eyewear. Depending on the reflected and absorbed IR radiation, this system 
      detects and classifies the eye blinking into normal blinking (NB) or prolonged 
      blinking (PB). The detected prolonged blinking is used to trigger an audio/visual 
      alarm system which draws the driver's attention back. The system was simulated 
      initially by LabVIEW(R) software. Moreover, the system was bench tested on 15 adult 
      volunteers; eye blinking were detected and classified successfully for all 
      subjects. The results of this research are promising and additional investigation 
      is required to further improve the method.
