while driving and alert him to avoid major road
accidents and economic losses.

INTRODUCTION
 Drivers drowsiness has been one of the major cause of severe physical
injuries, deaths and economic losses.

 In such cases there should be a reliable detection system that can
avoid
happening of such dangerous attacks.
 There are two methods for drowsiness
detections
They are:
a) Intrusive method,
b) Non-intrusive method.
 The intrusive method includes measurement of
heartbeat rate, mind wave monitoring etc.,
 It is the most accurate but not realistic.
This is because the sensing electrodes
would have to be attached directly
to the user’s body.
 This again leads to the distraction of the driver.
 It is the most accurate but not realistic. This is because the sensing
electrodes would have to be attached directly to the user’s body.
 It is the most accurate but not realistic. This is because the sensing electrodes
would have to be attached directly to the user’s body.
 So to avoid such distraction, we opt for the non-intrusive method
which include the yawn detection, eye closure, blink pattern etc.,
 Our project tells about the importance of the non-intrusive method
in which the combination of both eye closure and blink pattern is
included.

Arduino Uno:
• Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on ATmega328 which is an AVR processor
• It has 16 Digital I/O pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM) and 6 Analog pins
• It contains everything that needed to support the microcontroller.
Arduino Uno
ATmega328: Pin Out of
• ATmega328 is an 8-bit and 28 Pins AVR Microcontroller,
manufactured by Microchip, follows RISC Architecture and
has a flash type program memory of 32KB.
• It has an EEPROM memory of 1KB and its SRAM memory
is of 2KB.
• It has 8 Pin for ADC operations, which all combines
to form PortA (PA0 – PA7).
• It also has 3 built-in Timers, two of them are 8 Bit timers
while the third one is 16-Bit Timer
ATmega328 IC
IR Based Eye-Blink Detection Glasses:
• This Eye Blink sensor sense the eye-blink using is infrared sensor.
• The Variation Across the eye will vary as per eye-blink.
• If the eye is closed the output is high otherwise output is low.
IR Eye-Blink Detection Glasses

DC Motor:
• A DC Motor is an electric motor that run on direct current(DC) electricity
• The operation of any DC Motor is based on Electromagnetism
A simple DC Motor
Piezo-Buzzer:
• A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device
• It is used for alerting the person feeling
drowsy while driving
Piezo-Buzzer
Vibrator:
• Vibration motor used a DC motor
• When it rotates, it creates a force that
translates into vibrations
Vibration Motor
Battery (9Volts):
• The 9V Battery is common size of batteries that was
introduced for the early transistors, radios.
• It has a rectangular prism shape with rounded edges
and a polarized snap connector at the top
• It is commonly used in walkie-talkies, clocks,
smoke
detectors etc
9Volt Battery
Arduino IDE Software:
• In Open Source Arduino IDE, it comes
divided into two parts
Setup – Components used in the project are
defined here(Sensors and Actuators)
Loop – Logic should be written here to perform
continuously.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
•Here IR sensor is considered as an input to the

microcontroller. Buzzer, vibrator and motor are considered
as outputs i.e. as actuators to the microcontroller.
•Firstly the power supply is given to the system through 9V
battery.
•The IR sensor at the input detects the Eye Blink Pattern of
the person while driving.
•When the system gets powered up, the motor starts rotating
representing the vehicle movement.
•When the IR detects the drowsiness of the driver, it sends the information to
the
microcontroller.
•According to the instructions given to the microcontroller, whenever the
person’s
eyes remain closed for 1.5 seconds, at the output buzzer and vibrator starts
responding that is buzzer makes sound and vibrator starts vibrating so the driver
gets alerted.
•This alerts the driver to wake up in order to prevent the happening of any road
accidents. Simultaneously the motor stops rotating slowly which represents that
movement of vehicle will be stopped slowly and the ignition will get turned OFF
ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS
• It can be implemented at very low cost
• It provides high efficiency
• This system can be implemented in any vehicle
• Low power consumption i.e. it requires very less power to be operated
• Economic losses due to crashing of vehicles can be avoided through this
system
• Major road accidents and severe injuries can be prevented through this
system
FUTURE SCOPE
This prototype can be extended to implement using:

• It can be used wirelessly using wireless modules like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Zigbee etc.
• Using Nano technology this system can be mounted on to the goggles itself which
results in the compatibility of usage.
CONCLUSION
Through this system we achieved following:

• Drowsiness detection and alerting system achieves highly reliable detection of drowsiness
• This method offers a non intrusive approach to detect drowsiness without the annoyance and
interference
• The adopted system works in both daytime and night time condition
• Heavy vehicles can also adopt this method
RESULT ANALYSIS
Hence, Drowsiness Detection and Alerting System for road safety has been achieved and
following shows the output result for this project:
