Abstract:
Recent years increase in use of automobiles has
resulted in road accidents alarming the road safety. One of
the major reasons for accident is decrease in driver
alertness or drivers falling asleep. Hence, an Intelligent
Driver’s Drowsiness detection and prevention system using
biological parameters of the driver without driver’s
awareness for Road safety has to be designed and
developed. In this system, we are determining the
drowsiness of the driver by using biological parameter
namely facial expressions which is to be monitored and
recorded without the awareness of the driver. As drowsiness
is detected, a signal is issued to alert the driver. The system
deals with detecting face and eyes within the specific
segment of the image. Drowsiness is determined by
observing the eye blinking action of the driver.
