Implementation of Driver Drowsiness Detection and Accident Prevention System Using Wireless Sensors

Abstract

Nowadays we can see a lot of accidents occurring on the road. And nearly 78.4% of road accidents are occurring due to the drowsiness of drivers riding the vehicles. To avoid road accidents, there is a need for a driver assistance system for monitoring the activities of drivers. The proposed technique monitors the driver's eye movements using an eye blink sensor located in the device, in case of driver closes the eye frequently or other abnormal moments occurred, the eye blink sensors produce the alarm sound for altering the driver to stop the vehicle with an IR sensor attached to it. Also, an alcohol sensor is attached to it which detects the alcohol consumed by the driver and in case of alcohol is detected, it buzzes an alarm which in order avoids the road accidents.
