Abstract

Driving while drowsy is one of the factors of road accidents.The development of technologies for preventing drowsiness is a major challenge in the field of accident avoidance.The main purpose of this study is to detect the drowsiness in drivers to prevent the accidents and to improve the safety on the highways.Various technologies can be used to try to detect driver drowsiness such as steering pattern monitoring,vehicle position in lane monitoring,driver eye and physiological measurement.The technique used in this project is a human physiological measurement based on accuracy.The system uses a webcam that points directly towards the driver’s upper body and monitors the driver’s eyes in order to determine the condition of eyes.The webcam captured 2 images in 2 second and if the 2 images is in open eyes the system consider the driver is in normal condition while if the 2 images are in closed eyes the system considers the driver is in sleepy condition.When the drowsy is detected,an output which is buzzer will activate to alert the driver.
