Life Saving Smart Automobile

Abstract

More than 40% of the road accidents occur due to falling asleep and crossing the edge line before waking up. Drivers’ carelessness, reluctance to stop driving in spite of feeling tired are some of the factors contributing to sleep related accidents. The vehicle-based driver drowsiness detection system will continuously monitor driver’s performance and psycho physiological status. The system is programmed to give an alarm signal when drowsiness is detected. In order to prevent accidents due to sudden heart attacks, heart rate is monitored and if any critical situation is detected, the system will automatically alert the driver using GSM, will slow down the vehicle and safely park it.
