Eye Tracking Based Driver consciousness

monitoring and Warning System

INRODUCTION
The Real Time dangerous behaviors which are related to fatigue whether in form of eye closing,
head nodding or the brain activity. Hence we can either measure change inphysiological signals,
such as brain waves, heart rate and eye Blinking or by measuring physical changes such as
sagging posture, leaning of drivers head and open/closed state of eyes.
The previous technique, while more accurate, is not realisticsince highly sensitive electrodes
would have to be attached directly on the drivers body and hence which can be annoying and
distracting to the driver. In addition long time driving would result in perspiration on the sensors,
diminishing their ability to monitor accurately.The second technique is to measure

physical changes (i.e. open/closed eyes to detect fatigue) is well suited for real world driving
conditions since it is non-intrusive by using a video camera to detect changes. In addition micro
sleeps that are short period of sleeps lasting 2 to 3 seconds are good indicator of fatigue state.
Thus by continuously monitoring the eyes of the driver one can detect the sleepy state of driver
and timely warning is issued.

AIM OF PROJECT:
To develop the hardware which is very advanced product related to driver safety
on the roads using ARM7 controller and image processing. This product detects
driver drowsiness and gives warning in form of alarm and vibration in less than
one second time as well as decrees the speed of vehicle.

Woking:
In this project eye tracking for the driver drowsiness feature is use
by using the camera and image processing algorithm.
When the eye blink is not there for more than 10 to 30 sec then
serial data send to the controller and will vibrate the seat and
automatically control the speed of the wheels or motor.
When drowsiness is detected then alarm gets activated.
Also we have use the flex sensor for sensing the fingers on the
steering, as value goes above certain threshold then alarm get
activated

Hardware:
89s52
Dc motor for the wheel

ADVANTAGES:
Accident Prevention and Safety Driving
Robust system
Component establishes interface with other drivers very easily.
Life of the driver can be saved by locking the ignition system of the car.
Traffic management can be maintained by reducing accidents and traffic jams can be avoided.
