Driver Sleep Detection and Alarming System

There has been a very large increase in road accident due to drowsiness of driver while driving which leads to enormous fatal accidents .The driver lose his control when he falls sleep which leads to accident .This is because when the driver is not able to control his vehicle at very high speed on the road. This project can generate a model which can prevent such accidents. Temperature sensor and smoke sensor are used for further safety system in the vehicle.

DRIVER SLEEP DETECTION AND ALARMING SYSTEM

In modern -times, owing to hectic

important point is both IR transmitter and
receiver should be placed parallel to each
other. The signal is given to IR transmitter
whenever the signal is high, the IR sensor

This is to know whether the eye is at close
