Real-Time Driver Drowsiness Detection

In recent years, driver fatigue and drowsiness have emerged as major contributing factors in traffic accidents. This has caused a huge loss of life as well as significant property damage. A real-time sleepiness and yawn detection system is suggested as a solution to this problem in order to improve transportation safety by lowering the frequency of accidents brought on by driver fatigue and drowsiness. The suggested approach takes into account a number of facial and body signals, such as tired eyes and yawning, as indicators of driver fatigue and drowsiness. These characteristics are a sign of the driver's poor condition and increase the risk of accidents. The Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) is a tool used to gauge a driver's level of tiredness. It is calculated using the separation between the eye's horizontal and vertical reference points. It records the changes in eye shape that take place when a person is tired or drowsy, making it a handy tool for diagnosing drowsiness in a driver. Real-time notifications can be generated by the EAR to increase traffic safety. The gap between the lower and upper lip is a sign of a yawn and is used to determine the YAWN value. Thedevice sends a warning to the driver to stop when the distance reaches a certain point. The system generates an alert, to provide the driver with the proper alarms when they are feeling sleepy or yawning. With the aim of preventing fatalities brought on by traffic accidents, The suggested system is being developed with the goals of lowering the number of accidents and advancing technological capabilities.
