HVS-3388. Sleep sensing and Alerting system for drivers

5,000.00

In modern-times, owing to hectic schedules it becomes very difficult to remain active all the time. Imagine a situation where a person is driving home from work, dead tired after facing all the challenges of the day. His hands are on the wheel and foot on the pedal but suddenly he starts feeling drowsy, his eyes start shutting and his vision blurs and before he knows it, he’s asleep.

In modern-times, owing to hectic schedules it becomes very difficult to remain active all the time. Imagine a situation where a person is driving home from work, dead tired after facing all the challenges of the day. His hands are on the wheel and foot on the pedal but suddenly he starts feeling drowsy, his eyes start shutting and his vision blurs and before he knows it, he’s asleep. Falling asleep on the wheel can lead to serious consequences, there may be accidents and people may even lose their lives. This situation is much more common than we notice and hence, it is very important to counter this problem. So, to address this issue, we have come up with a Driver Anti-sleep Device. This system alerts the user through buzzer if he/she falls asleep to avoiding accidents and saving lives. This system is useful especially for people who travel long distances and people who are driving late at night. The main controlling device of the whole system is an arduino nano Microcontroller. Eye blink sensor and Buzzer and RF transmitter are connected to Microcontroller. This sensor data continuously monitors by the Arduino nano microcontroller. If the sensor detects drowsiness it will process to the microcontroller, then microcontroller active the Buzzer and transmits this to the vehicle section through RF transmitter. This data received by RF receiver and stop the vehicle ignition automatically.  To perform the task, Microcontroller is loaded with an intelligent program written in embedded ‘C’ language.

The main objectives of the project are:
  • Automatic drowsiness detection using eye blink sensor.
  • Automatic vehicle ignition control system.
  • Using wireless RF technology.
  • Audible alerts using buzzer.
  • To achieve this task using Arduino nano microcontroller.
  The main blocks of this project are:
  • 9v Battery power.
  • Arduino nano microcontroller.
  • Eye Blink sensor.
  • RF transmitter and RF receiver modules.
  • Encoder and Decoder.
  • DC Motor
Software’s used:
  1. Embedded C programming.
  2. Arduino IDE Studio for dumping code into Micro controller.
  3. Express SCH for Circuit design.
