1. A method for detecting occurrence a fatigue condition of an operator of a driving apparatus, the method being implemented in a processor configured to execute machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

  • receiving a signal indicating a physiological condition of the operator;

    determining the physiological condition of the operator is below a threshold;

    in response to determining the physiological condition of the operator is below the threshold, obtaining head movement information regarding a movement of the operator'"'"'s head within a time window, wherein the time window specifies an amount of seconds immediately prior to the determination that the operator'"'"'s physiological condition is below the threshold;

    determining the head movement information indicates that operator'"'"'s head is moving downwards within the time window; and

    in response to the head movement information indicating the operator'"'"'s head is moving downwards within the time window and further to the physiological condition of the operator is below the threshold, generating a signal indicating a fatigue condition is detected for the operator.
