ABSTRACT
Driver lassitude induced drowsiness accounts for a major of
road accidents. To avoid such accidents, a precautionary
system is needed. The idea is to develop driver sleep detection,
drunk and drive monitoring system. Digital Image Processing
(DIP) technique is used to detect fatigue. Haar cascaded
algorithm is used for eye detection. In this paper, a system is
proposed to avoid road accidents using the alert system along
with collision information system. IOT module is used to get
location information and to send messages. Wi-Fi module is
used to update location information in the server.
Keywords— Haar cascade algorithm, DIP, IOT, Wi-Fi
1. INTRODUCTION
In today’s world, most people can afford to buy cars and bikes,
as it becomes one of the most important and useful things. As
vehicle count is increasing, it also leads to heavy traffic and
accidents. Nowadays vehicle riding has become very
painstaking, as accidents are now frequent in many places.
There are many reasons for the accident; one of the reasons is
drowsy driving. Drowsy driving can lead to
Serious accidents. Other major reason is drunk and drive. This
is not only unsafe for the drivers, but also for others who travel
on the road.
In India, more than 150,000 people are killed each year in
traffic accidents year which is about 10% of
road crash fatalities worldwide. That's about 400 fatalities a
day and far more than developed auto markets like the US. In
2017 As many as 1,47,000 people died on Indian roads in
4,64,000 accidents as per the reports of the Ministry of Road
Transport and Highways. According to the reports, drowsy
driving was responsible for 72,000 crashes, 44,000 injuries and
800 deaths. Drunk and Drive is also responsible for many
accidents, claiming more lives. As per National statistics, an
average of nearly 12,000 people dies every year.
The main objective of this system is to detect the drowsy state
of the driver and to create a warning to the driver. Drowsiness
detection can reduce accidents due to this problem. For this
more efficient technologies must be used. Accurate detection
of eyes must be done to identify the driver’s condition. Gas
sensors can detect whether the driver is drunk. Constant
Observation of eyes and alcohol gas in the air can be used to
avoid accidents.
2. EXISTING SYSTEM
In the existing system, ECG and EEG sensor based Drowsiness
detection is implemented and sensors are suitable in laboratory
monitoring. But during driving, it’s not suitable as it connected
to the driver body. So there is no comfort to the person during
driving and the sensor value may vary depending upon light
intensity. It produces less accurate results.
Goggles with Eyeball sensor also used for drowsiness
detection, but it is not comfortable to use while driving.
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
In the proposed system, Drowsy driving detection and Drunk
and drive detection is used to avoid accidents. In addition to
that Traffic collision information system is also used.
3.1 Drowsiness Detection
Drowsiness detection is detecting the eyes of the driver. The
camera is used for detection instead of eyeball sensors, which
is used in the older method. It detects the driver’s eyes and
sends the information to raspberry pi 3 which process the
information.
3.2 Drunk and drive and Smoke detection
This system uses Gas sensors to detect whether the driver is
drunk or smoking. Gas sensors react to the gases present, thus
changes in the concentration of molecules at the gaseous state
are updated. It reacts to the breath of the driver; if Ethanol or
