Driver Anti-Sleep Alarming and Protection
Abstract: Road accidents due to driver drowsiness is one of the biggest problems worldwide, which kills thousands of people every year. Fatigue slows the reaction time, reduces the concentration, and, most importantly, impairs the judgment, thus making drowsy driving as dangerous as drunk driving. To reduce such accidents, various technologies have been employed to develop driver anti-sleep devices. These include sensor-based detection, camera-based eye monitoring, EEG analysis, and real-time alert systems. …
