Alert System for Driver’s Drowsiness Using Image Processing

Accidents occur all over the world cause of being not able to concentrate on the road while driving. The concentration is missed due to driving the car without resting which makes the person drowsy. And this drowsiness becomes the reason for major accidents. This problem is overcome by developing the various system in detecting the sleep. The proposed system here uses the Raspberry Pi and various sensors like Gas Sensor, Vibration Sensor for the detection of the type of drowsiness. The driver is been monitored by placing a camera which captures the vital sign. If the eye is closed for a longer period of time then the image of the person is sent. The accident is detected using a vibration sensor and the server is notified by sending latitude and longitude. The location of the car is sent by the IOT modem which is embedded in the car. If the driver consumed alcohol it is sensed by the gas sensor and the server is notified by a message. The motor of the car is continuously running can be stopped or cut-off if the server side is notified about the driver that the person is not in a situation to drive the car. By this, the accident rate is reduced and the risk of customer life is decreased.
