contents Driving safety has drawn much public attention in recent years due to the fast-growing number of cars. Smoking is one of the threats to driving safety but is often ignored by drivers. Existing works on smoking detection either work in contact manner or need additional devices. This motivates us to explore the practicability of using smartphones to detect smoking events in driving environment. In this paper, we propose a cigarette smoking detection system, named HearSmoking, which only uses acoustic sensors on smartphones to improve driving safety. After investigating typical smoking habits of drivers, including hand movement and chest fluctuation, we design an acoustic signal to be emitted by the speaker and received by the microphone. We calculate Relative Correlation Coefficient of received signals to obtain movement patterns of hands and chest. The processed data is sent into a trained Convolutional Neural Network for classification of hand movement. We also design a method to detect respiration at the same time. To improve system performance, we further analyse the periodicity of the composite smoking motion. Through extensive experiments in real driving environments, HearSmoking detects smoking events with an average total accuracy of 93.44 percent in real-time.
