“Development of Real-time Drowsiness Detection System ”
 PROBLEM DEFINITION:-

◦ A computer vision system that can automatically detect driver

drowsiness in a real-time video stream and then play an alarm if
the driver appears to be drowsy.
•Road accidents are nowadays very common. In India, on average about
1214 crashes happen on a daily basis[1]. There are various reasons that
can cause road accidents such as reckless driving, speeding, drunk
driving, etc. Among these night driving is also a major reason for car
accidents.
•A solution to this problem is to identify when the driver is falling asleep
and alarming the passengers of the situation so that appropriate measures
can be taken.
 OBJECTIVE:-

• The main objective is to first design a system to detect driver’s

drowsiness by continuously monitoring retina of the eye.
•To alert the driver on the detection of drowsiness by using buzzer
or alarm.
• Traffic management can be maintained by reducing the accidents.
•To make driving safe for ourselves and for others too.

 SCOPE

The proposed system is used to avoid various road accidents caused by

drowsy driving.
• Use in various types of vehicle mainly in car for driver safety.
•It will be low cost mechanism which will help to reduce road accidents
• it will decrease the damage cause by accidents like vehicle damage
,physical damage of person, transposting road damage.
•This system will avoid traffic jams cause by accidents rsulting in wasting
time of other people.
