INTRODUCTION

1.Vehicle accidents are most common if the driving is inadequate.

These happen on most factors if the driver is drowsy or if he is alcoholic Driver
drowsiness is recognized as an important factor in the vehicle accidents.

2.It was demonstrated that driving performance deteriorates with increased

drowsiness with resulting crashes constituting more than 20% of all vehicle
accidents. But the life lost once cannot be re-winded.Reasons leading to falling
asleep behind the wheel as follows.

 Reasons leading to falling asleep behind the wheel as follows.
1. Fatigue. Driver has been at the wheel for long enough (typical for
professionals) or he has performed the monotonous heavy work the
day before ride (typical for amateurs).
2. 2. Alcohol intoxication. Even small "allowed" dose of alcohol of 0.3
ppm can dramatically increase the likelihood of falling asleep of the
driver.
3. Riding at an inopportune time, at night.
4. Taking medication. There is a large list of drugs reducing reaction,
calming the nervous system, relieves pain. Accordingly, increases the
likelihood of falling asleep

Objectives of the Project
1. Drowsiness detection is a safety technology that can prevent
accidents that are caused by drivers who fell asleep while
driving.
2. The objective of this intermediate Machine Learning project is
to build a drowsiness detection system that will detect that a
person's eyes are closed for a few seconds. This system will
alert the driver detected. when drowsiness is detected.

There are multiple reasons why the driver drowsiness detection system is chosen:

Enhancing Road Safety: By warning drivers when they start to feel sleepy, a driver
drowsiness monitoring system can assist lessen this danger and lower the chance of
accidents.
Impact on Public Health: Driving while intoxicated puts other road users and
passengers at danger in addition to the driver. The initiative can improve public
health by lowering the frequency of accidents and related injuries by using
technology to solve this issue.

Technological Innovation: There is room for technological innovation and

advancement in the development of a dependable and accurate driver drowsiness
detection system, which calls for the integration of many sensors and machine
learning algorithms.

Driver drowsiness detection typically involves the following steps and components:
Data Acquisition: The system needs to gather data about the driver's behavior and
physiological state. This can be done through various sensors, including:
Camera: To monitor the driver's facial features and eye movements.
Steering wheel sensors: To detect erratic steering patterns, which can indicate
drowsiness.
Vehicle sensors: To collect data on vehicle speed, lane deviation, and other driving
behaviors.
Biometric sensors: These could include heart rate monitors, EEG sensors, or other
physiological sensors to measure the driver's physical state.

The following are some areas where the driver sleepiness detection project can be
useful:

1. Road Safety: Reducing the amount of accidents brought on by sleepy driving is one
of the main advantages. Studies show that driving while intoxicated can be just as
deadly, therefore identifying and cautioning sleepy drivers may be able to save lives.
2. Prevention of Accidents: The system can assist in averting accidents by warning
drivers when they exhibit symptoms of fatigue. This is especially crucial for
commercial truck drivers, long-distance truckers, and people who drive at night,
when fatigue is more prevalent.

3. Improved driving Performance: By promoting breaks when needed or offering

methods to fend off fatigue, the project can also help to improve driving
performance.

Drivers: The primary beneficiaries are drivers themselves. The system helps them
avoid accidents caused by drowsy driving, potentially saving lives and preventing
injuries.
Passengers: Passengers traveling in vehicles equipped with drowsiness detection
systems benefit from increased safety and reduced risk of accidents.
Pedestrians and Other Road Users: By reducing the number of accidents caused by
drowsy driving, the system improves overall road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and
other road users. This can lead to fewer injuries and fatalities in accidents involving
drowsy drivers.

Conclusion
➤The use of object detection and image processing in OpenCV
for the implementation of our proposed work proved to be
practically successful.
➤Driver's face and eyes are recognized efficiently using
OpenCV.Driver Drowsiness System
➤Driver's eyelid movement is tracked and based on the values
drowsiness is detected accurately.
➤The eyelid movement is tracked with high accuracy.
➤Based on the values the driver is alerted while he fells asleep.

Future Work
The model can be improved incrementally by using other parameterblinking
rate,state of the cars, etc
.• If all these parameter are used it can improve the accuracy by lot.
• We plan to future work on the project by adding a sensor to o track the
heart rate in order to prevent the accident caused due to sudden heart
attack to driver
.• Same model and techniques can be used for various other uses like
Netflix and other streaming services can detect when is asleep and stop
the video accordingly
.• It can also be used in application that prevent user from sleeping.
