DRIVER DROWSINESS DETECTION SYSTEM

• 

  opened eyes

  closed eyes

Inspiration

A countless number of people drive on the highway day and night. Taxi drivers, bus drivers, truck drivers and people traveling long-distance suffer from lack of sleep. Due to which it becomes very dangerous to drive when feeling sleepy. The majority of accidents happen due to the drowsiness of the driver. So, to prevent these accidents we decided to do this project.

What it does

This project will detect that a person’s eyes are closed for a few seconds and the system will alert the driver when drowsiness is detected.

How we built it

We built the drowsiness detection algorithm using OpenCV, dlib , imutils, scipy and Python.

Challenges we ran into

We faced challenges in building a algorithm and then implementing it and while installing some libraries like dlib .

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of that we were able to build a project that would prevent accidents in the future.

What we learned

We learned some of the computer vision techniques.

What's next for DRIVER DROWSINESS DETECTION SYSTEM

We can add alert sound to the sytsem when a driver gets drowsy.
