There are about ten million road accidents worldwide per year. The major cause of the road accidents is driver’s health, drowsiness or fatigue, especially when driving on long routes. To ensure a safe drive there is a need to design a system to monitor the health parameter of the driver.
The Driver’s Smart Health Monitoring System detects the drowsiness and health parameters of the driver while driving. The image of the driver is taken by a Raspberry Pi Cam and the Raspberry Pi detects the driver’s drowsiness using different Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. A buzzer alerts the driver whenever his/her eyes are closed. The location of the driver is monitored using Global Positioning System (GPS). The driver is equipped with a wrist band mounted with temperature and pulse sensors to also monitor temperature and pulse in real time.
The system can be installed in any car and is an effort to make driving safe for common people.
