According to the previous researches by experts, the smoking behavior in driving will cause three hazards: reducing vision, distracting, and irritating. Thus the risk is extremely high. By detecting whether there is any object of a cigarette, the smoking behavior in driving is recognized, and it will greatly help for driving safety. In this paper, the YOLOv2 deep-learning image based methodology is applied for driver's cigarette object detection. The driver's images are captured by a dual-mode

By the YOLOv2 deep learning network, the preprepared images of driver smoking behavior are marked, and the cigarette detector is trained to detect the cigarette object when the driver is smoking. In experimental results, the applied deep learning based design performs that the precision is up to 97% and the recall is 98%. Besides, by the proposed design, the average accuracy of cigarette detection is up to 96% during the day condition, and that of cigarette detection is up to 85% during the night condition.  Index Terms-smoking behavior detection, deep learning, YOLOv2, driving safety
