We will prepare a detailed synopsis for your college submission. Includes problem statement, objectives, DFD, ER diagram, and more.

A real-time system that watches a driver's eyes and head position through a camera and raises an alarm when signs of drowsiness or distraction appear. Runs on a laptop or a Raspberry Pi mounted on the dashboard.

Problem Statement

Driver fatigue is a major cause of highway accidents. Commercial fatigue monitoring systems are expensive and limited to premium vehicles.

Objectives

1

Detect face and eye landmarks in real time

2

Compute eye aspect ratio and yawning frequency

3

Trigger audio alerts when drowsiness crosses a threshold

4

Log incidents for later review

Modules

M1

Video Capture

Reads frames from a webcam or Pi camera and handles low-light preprocessing.

M2

Landmark Detection

Locates eyes and mouth using facial landmark models.

M3

Drowsiness Classifier

Combines eye closure duration, blink rate, and yawns into a fatigue score.

M4

Alert & Logging

Buzzer or speaker alert plus a local log of drowsiness events with timestamps.

Expected Output

A working prototype that sounds an alarm within seconds of the driver's eyes closing and stores a log of fatigue events.

Future Scope

Head pose based distraction detection, phone usage detection, fleet dashboard for transport companies, and vehicle CAN bus integration.
