Most of the accidents on highways during night occur due to drivers poor vision caused by the continuous exposure of their eyes to the bright light from the headlamps of approaching vehicles. The poor vision is due to exhaustion of the visual pigment in the eyes, which induces sleep to restore the pigment. This circuit keeps you vigilant by sounding intermittent beeps and emitting flashing light so as to remind you that you are not on the bed but driving a vehicle. It works only at night due to the control of a light-dependent resistor (LDR) based switch.

Circuit diagram

During daytime the oscillation of IC1 is inhibited. At night, T1 remains non-conducting as the LDR is in dark. Transistor T2 conducts to pull the reset pin (pin 12) of IC1 to ground. This starts the oscillations of IC1. After 6 minutes, the Q6 output goes high and LED2 glows for one minute and the warning buzzer sounds. If the circuit is not reset using push-to-switch S1 after hearing the warning beep.

As long as Q9 output of IC3 remains high (i.e., for 15 minutes), IC4 oscillates and the piezobuzzer beeps and the white LEDs flash.

Thank you
