Abstract

The Driver Monitoring and Alert System (DMAS) was developed to address the increasing number of traffic accidents in 2024. The primary issue is the rising incidence of speed-related accidents on Malaysian roads, highlighting the urgent requirement for a comprehensive Driver Monitoring and Assistance System (DMAS). The objective of this project was to develop a system that involves real-time monitoring of driver speed, alerting drivers when they exceed speed limits, and collecting data for the analysis of driver speeding behavior using Fuzzy Logic Technique. The proposed DMAS aims to improve road safety in Malaysia and globally. The DMAS is implemented using the Sony Spresense board, which has Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities for accurate speed and location detection. The system is installed in the vehicle and powered with a USB 5V power supply, which easily found in the car's USB hub. When the DMAS is turned on, it establishes a connection with the GNSS system. After receiving coordinates from the GNSS, it shows real-time data of the actual speed and speed limit on a thin-filmtransistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD). The real-time data is captured during the driver's path, including points, longitude, latitude, time, speed, and speed limit on an SD card. When the driver exceeds the speed limit, the TFT LCD and a buzzer act as an alerting system. The collected data can be analyzed and visualized using the DMAS app, which employs Fuzzy Logic Technique to interpret driver speed behavior. The app provides route maps, tables of exceeding speed incidents, and comparisons of speed versus time, along with interpretations of driver behavior. This feedback can educate drivers, promoting safer driving practices if a low safety score is obtained. The DMAS is believed to achieve its objectives of monitoring and alerting drivers while obtaining real-time data to enhance road safety globally.
