I.Background
The critical issue of driver drowsiness and its ramifications for road safety has driven
technological advancements, particularly the emergence of “Anti-Sleep Eyeglasses.” Innovating
upon existing driver sleep detection systems, Calayag et al. (2021) introduced an anti-sleep
driving alarm tailored for all-night drivers and individuals with prolonged sedentary roles.
Highlighting the importance of an advanced safety system, Thorat et al. (2023) emphasized the
significance of an anti-sleep alarm in averting accidents and preserving lives by detecting and
alerting users if they fall asleep at the wheel. Contributing to automated driver drowsiness
detection, Shah, Nair, and Shetty (2020) emphasized the integration of machine vision and
artificial intelligence. Algorithmically defining drowsiness as the intermediate stage between
wakefulness and sleep, Suryawanshi and Agrawal (2020) stressed the importance of early
detection. Joshi et al. (2023) underscored the pivotal role of addressing driver drowsiness as a
significant factor in road accidents and near-miss incidents. Kiran et al. (2020) explored sleep-
deprived driving, linking it to operating a vehicle while psychologically weakened due to
insufficient sleep. Saleem et al.’s (2023) systematic review delved into physiological signals,
identifying stress, fatigue, and illness as contributors to cognitive decline and heightened
accident risk. Ahmed et al. (2021) highlighted the alarming global prevalence of road accidents
caused by fatigue, drowsiness, and distraction while driving. This study aims to contribute to the
ongoing discourse by investigating the potential efficacy of “Anti-Sleep Eyeglasses” in
enhancing driver alertness and mitigating the risks associated with drowsy driving.
II.Relevance
The significance of “Anti-Sleep Eyeglasses” is underscored by recent advancements in
drowsiness detection systems. Chary et al. (2023) introduced an “Anti Sleep Alarm for Drivers,”
emphasizing its importance for long-distance travelers and those driving during late-night hours.
Ravisankar et al. (2023) highlighted the role of sustainable road safety and the significant
contribution of such systems in reducing accidents and fatalities globally. Eleyan et al.’s proposal
focuses on monitoring roads to alert drivers to potential hazards, thereby promoting safer driving
practices. Joshi et al. (2023) aimed to develop a drowsiness detection system, placing emphasis
on early symptom detection through eye monitoring to prevent accidents. Jadhav et al. (Year)
stressed the effectiveness of alarms, whether through sound, vibration, or visual signals, in
capturing the driver’s attention for a timely safety response. Teyfouri et al. (2021) designed an
electronic system based on neck position and blinking duration to prevent car crashes due to
driver drowsiness. Thorat et al. (Year) and Vishal et al. (Year) highlighted the importance of
alerting users when at risk of falling asleep at the wheel, contributing significantly to accident
prevention. In summary, the “Anti-Sleep Eyeglasses” research addresses the pressing issue of
driver fatigue, enhancing road safety, and potentially saving lives.
III. Issues
Driver drowsiness presents a pervasive threat on roadways, leading to numerous accidents,
fatalities, and substantial economic costs. Perkins et al. (2023) underscore the far-reaching
impact of drowsy driving on public safety and resources. Consistent research findings establish a
significant correlation between drowsiness and motorway accidents, surpassing the impact of
drink-driving. Addressing this challenge, innovative technological solutions like the IoT-based
Driver Assist System proposed by Jacob et al. (2022) using OpenCV and Python highlight the
potential of advanced interventions. Contributing to this discourse, Himaswi et al. (2023)
introduce a deep learning-based drowsiness detection system using IoT. Recognizing that
inadequate sleep and heightened tiredness are key contributors to driver drowsiness the research
investigates the potential of “anti-sleep eyeglasses” as a non-intrusive preventive measure. This
study aims to offer an accessible solution to enhance road safety in the context of this critical
issue.
IV. Gap
Within the realm of user interaction and safety considerations pertaining to driver drowsiness
detection systems, real-time monitoring emerges as a cornerstone, as research consistently
underscores its pivotal role in swiftly identifying and responding to drowsiness, thereby
mitigating potential accidents (Ed-Doughmi et Al., 2020; Raju et al., 2020). This category further
accentuates the significance of jncorporating human-centric elements into the design and
implementation of these systems. Studies by Singh et al. (2023) and Khabarlak & Koriashkina
(2021) shed light on the critical importance of considering driver comfort and safety in the
development process. Moreover, the paragraph emphasizes the crucial need for evaluating user
acceptance and addressing safety concerns. Technologies like Blink-sensing glasses, as
investigated by Tanwear et al. (2020) and Chen et al. (2021), introduce considerations such as
prolonged exposure to infrared radiation, necessitating meticulous examination to ensure the
well-being of users.
