Abstract Now a days, there has been a significant increase in traffic accidents caused by driver fatigue, which results in several fatalities. The driver loses control when he falls asleep, resulting in an accident. This occurs when the driver is unable to manage his vehicle at high speeds on the road. Driver inattention is a major cause of most car accidents. Driver weariness caused by sleep deprivation or sleep disorders is a major factor in the increasing frequency of accidents on today's roadways. Drowsy driver warning systems can serve as the foundation for a system that could reduce accidents caused by driving drowsiness. This project can generate a model which can prevent such accidents. To avoid this, we devised a very simple and cost-effective solution. When a driver falls asleep on this project.

  1. INTRODUCTION:

    According to published data, 20 to 50 million people experience non-fatal injuries as a result of traffic accidents every year, and roughly 1.3 million people pass away on the roads. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a motorist Each year, tiredness results in 100,000 auto accidents. Around 1,550 people were hurt in these collisions.

    $12.5 billion in financial losses, 71,000 injuries, and deaths. The German claims that Road Safety Council (DVR), one in every four fatalities resulting from highway traffic a result of driver fatigue. from highway traffic a result of driver fatigue.When a driver nods off behind the wheel, they lose control of the vehicle, which frequently results in a collision with another automobile or stationary objects. Checking the driver's level of tiredness can help

    prevent these tragic accidents. It has been generally reported that monitored utilising the subsequent techniques: measures based on vehicles several indicators, such as lane changes, steering wheel movement, and pressure The accelerator pedal, among other things, is constantly monitored, and any modification that crosses NREM is broken into three stages for the second stage.

    Stage I: the change from being awake to being groggy Stage II is a light nap.

    Stage III: a sound slumber One of the most common causes of car accidents is sleepy driving.

    Drowsy driving poses a danger, risk, and other potentially fatal situations, including disturbing. A certain threshold denotes a significantly elevated risk that the driver is sleepy. Driving while fatigued, sleep-deprived, or both is known as "drowsy driving." This frequently happens when a driver doesn't get enough sleep, but it can also happen due to a lack of concentration, certain drugs, sleep disorders, drinking alcohol, or shift work. Although falling asleep at the wheel is dangerous, being sleepy impairs one's ability to operate a vehicle safely even when not dozing off. According to popular belief, one in every Twenty drivers have slept off behind the wheel. Driving for more than 20 hours without any rest or sleep is comparable to driving while intoxicated by 0.08%. You are three times more likely to be in a car accident if you are fatigued. Drowsiness can be difficult to notice, so some motorists may oblivious to their weariness. Some motorists doze off behind the wheel. which are succinct, uncontrollable lapses in attention. However, due to the brief 4-5 seconds, this is dangerous. can be dangerous and inflict substantial harm. More than 1.5 million people have passed away as a result. a result of traffic collisions. According to India's Ministry of Road Accidents, there are an average of 1280 collisions resulted in 417 fatalities, or about 53 collisions and 17 fatalities every hour.

    1) PROBLEM STATEMENT:

    This system includes a driver aid system to reduce the number of accidents caused by driver fatigue and thereby boost road safety. Because of drowsiness, the driver has completely lost all attention and should notify the driver that they are no longer capable of operating the drowsy vehicle safely.

  2. OBJECTIVES:

    • The purpose of the driver sleep sensing and alerting system is to help reduce accidents involving passenger and commercial vehicles.

    • The technology detects early indicators of fatigue before the driver loses their ability to drive safely.

  3. LITERATURE SURVEY:

    1. A study of the literature on the haar cascade's use in real-time drowsy driver detection.Dr. Suryaprasad J. Sandesh samples Saraswathi, D. V.J.[5] suggested a technique for employing real-time image processing to recognise a face or an eye. In the project being proposed, It explains how to carry out the Haar cascade tests, identify tiredness, and distinguish between eye blinks. This research essentially presents a real vision-based method for identifying sleepiness. The fundamental challenges are the location of the iris under various lighting situations, facial recognition, and making a instantaneous system.

    2. Using the vehicle state (steering wheel) algorithm to detect fatigue Using a neurofuzzy system that supports vector machines, Arefnezhad et al. [6] suggested a non-interfering sleepiness detection method based on the vehicle steering data.and the optimisation strategy for particle swarms. Mutya et al.'s [7] system was suggested. to use the steering wheel algorithm to overcome the fatigue problem. Its foundation is CNN algorithm and picture-based steering movement for accurate categorization weariness, which can essentially lower the rates of false drowsiness detection.

      6. IR Sensor:

        Fig 3.8: IR Sensor

        The eye blink sensor is used to track eye blinks, which allows us to monitor other behaviours like driver drowsiness while driving. Based on infrared LED technology, it operates. It has a receiver LED and an infrared transmitter that are used to detect an eye blink.

        323

        WORKING PRINCIPLE OF BLOCK DIAGRAM:

        The IR sensor in this case is regarded as a microcontroller input. The microcontroller's outputs, or actuators, include the buzzer, vibrator, and motor. The IR sensor is first provided with electricity. While driving, the IR sensor at the input identifies the person's eye blink pattern. When the system is turned on, the motor begins to rotate to simulate vehicle motion. The microcontroller receives information when the IR notices that the driver is nodding off. When a person's eyes are closed for three seconds, the microcontroller is instructed to start responding by turning on the output buzzer and vibrator, which then alerts the driver by making a sound and vibrating. In order to avoid any accidents on the road, this warns the motorist to get up. The motor slows down, signifying that the ignition will be switched OFF and that the vehicle's movement will be stopped gradually.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS:

In this scenario, the IR sensor is viewed as a microcontroller input. The buzzer, vibrator, and motor are examples of microcontroller outputs, or actuators. First, power is given to the IR sensor. The IR sensor at the input recognize the person's eye blink pattern while they are driving. The motor starts to revolve as soon as the system is turned on, mimicking vehicle motion. When the IR determines that the driver is dozing off, it sends information to the microcontroller. The output buzzer and vibrator are turned on by the microcontroller when a person's eyes are closed for three seconds, which alerts the driver by generating a noise and vibrating. This alerts the driver in order to prevent any mishaps on the road.

CONCLUSION:

Based on the results of the testing, it is evident that employing an IR sensor to detect an individual's eye blinks is a practical and reliable way to identify whether or not they are sleepy, provided that the sensor is securely fastened to a fixed area of the glass. utilising alarm modules composed of the system aids the driver's ability to stay awake through the use of the buzzer and vibrator driving.

FUTURE SCOPE:‌

The following wireless modules can be added to this prototype to make it more practical to use: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zig-bee, etc. This system can be placed directly into the eyewear using nanotechnology, which results in the usability of the product. It is advised to investigate additional sensors in order to determine the blinking rate because the IR sensor is delicate and not long- lasting when used frequently. However, with reference to the connection .It is advised to use any device that will connect the eye blink sensor to the Arduino. If the eye blink sensor's output can be transferred to a wireless connection, do so. influence the delay procedure. The use of image processing by academics is widespread in various domains.
