ABSTRACT
The number of road accidents is continuously increasing in the last few

years worldwide. As per the survey of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administrator, nearly one in five motor vehicle crashes are
caused by a distracted driver. An accurate and robust system can be
developed for detecting distracted drivers and warn them against them.

Introduction
1.1 Introduction
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) survey, 1.3 million people worldwide
die in traffic accidents each year, making them the eighth leading cause of death and an
additional 20-50 million are injured/ disabled.
As per the report of the National Crime Research Bureau (NCRB), Govt. of India, Indian
roads account for the highest fatalities in the world. There has been a continuous increase in
road crash deaths in India since 2006. The report also states that the total number of deaths
has risen to 1.46 lakhs in 2015 and driver error is the most common cause behind these
traffic accidents.
1.1.1 Language Used
I used PYTHON language to develop this project. It is an interpreted high-level general-

purpose programming language. Its language constructs as well as its object-oriented
approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale
projects.
1.1.3 Dependencies
Pandas – It is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and
manipulation tool built on top of the python programming language.
NumPy - It is the fundamental package for scientific computing in Python. It is a Python

library that provides a multidimensional array object, various derived objects (such as
masked arrays and matrices), and an assortment of routines for fast operations on arrays,
1
including mathematical, logical, shape manipulation, sorting, selecting, I/O, discrete
Fourier transforms, basic linear algebra, basic statistical operations, random simulation and
much more.
Keras - It is an open-source software library that provides a Python interface for artificial
neural networks. It acts as an interface for the TensorFlow library.
Matplotlib - It is a plotting library for the Python programming language and its numerical
mathematics extension NumPy. It provides an object-oriented API for embedding plots into
applications using general-purpose GUI toolkits like Tkinter, wxPython, Qt, or GTK.
1.2 Background
The main aim of this project is to build an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to
prevent accidents by offering technologies that alert the driver to potential problems and to
keep the car’s driver and occupants safe if an accident does occur.
The focus is on detecting manual distractions where the driver is engaged in other activities
than safe driving and also identify the cause of distraction.

Preliminary Study
2.1 Convolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional Neural Networks, like neural networks, are made up of neurons with
learnable weights and biases. Each neuron receives several inputs, takes a weighted sum
over them, pass it through an activation function and responds with an output.
The whole network has a loss function and all the tips and tricks that we developed for
neural networks still apply on Convolutional Neural Networks.
2.2 How Do Convolutional Neural Networks Work?
There are four layered concepts to understand in Convolutional Neural Networks:
1. Convolution,
2. ReLu,
3. Pooling and
4. Full Connectedness (Fully Connected Layer).
2.3 Layers -

Convolution Of An Image :
Convolution has the nice property of being translational invariant. Intuitively, this means
that each convolution filter represents a feature of interest (e.g pixels in letters) and the
Convolutional Neural Network algorithm learns which features comprise the resulting
reference (i.e. alphabet).
We have 4 steps for convolution:

 Line up the feature and the image
 Multiply each image pixel by corresponding feature pixel
 Add the values and find the sum
 Divide the sum by the total number of pixels in the feature
ReLU Layer :
ReLU is an activation function.
Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) transform function only activates a node if the input is above
a certain quantity, while the input is below zero, the output is zero, but when the input rises
above a certain threshold, it has a linear relationship with the dependent variable.
Pooling Layer
In this layer we shrink the image stack into a smaller size. Pooling is done after passing
through the activation layer. We do this by implementing the following 4 steps:
 Pick a window size (usually 2 or 3)
 Pick a stride (usually 2)
 Walk your window across your filtered images
 From each window, take the maximum value
Stacking Up The Layers

So to get the time-frame in one picture we’re here with a 4×4 matrix from a 7×7 matrix
after passing the input through 3 layers – Convolution, ReLU and Pooling .

Conclusion
Driver distraction is a serious problem leading to a large number of road

crashes worldwide. Hence detection of he distracted drivers becomes an
essential system component in self-driving cars. Here, we present a
robust Convolutional Neural Network-based system to detect distracted
drivers and also identify the cause of distraction.
