The purpose of this research is to discuss a method for detecting driver drowsiness by monitoring their eyes and
imagery. It is critical for safety to detect sleepy drivers. The research investigates a novel method for tracking the driver's
eye behaviour that employs a computer and a camera. When the driver's eyes are closed for an extended period of time,
an alert is sent to wake them awake. This method is less obtrusive and helps to improve driver safety. This paper's
limitations are that it cannot identify yawning and that image sharpness may vary due to camera locations. Furthermore,
various people have different blink rates, which affects the system's accuracy. A Raspberry Pi computer, a webcam,
OpenCV software, and a Shape Predictor Algorithm are used in the process.

7. The report discusses various important aspects of detecting driver drowsiness. It digs into the cutting-edge techniques
used to find and analyse the driver's facial and eye positions using grayscale image processing, providing a one-of-a-kind
approach that eliminates the need for visible illumination, reducing any potential strain on the driver's eyes. While these
techniques show potential, the research also points out several limitations, particularly those relating to the difficulties of
analysing grayscale photos versus colour images. These constraints highlight the significance of improving the process for
maximum accuracy. Despite these limitations, the findings of this study give a solid foundation for real-time sleepiness
detection systems, potentially providing a solution to a significant road safety issue.

8. The authors use behavioral-based methodologies in this work, principally focused on visual cues extracted from eye
movements, with a core emphasis on the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) as the key methodology for determining whether the
driver's eyes are open or closed. The workflow of the system includes video input processing, facial landmark
identification, and EAR computation to determine the driver's level of drowsiness. This strategic combination of EAR
analysis and blink duration measurement provides a non-intrusive and pragmatic methodology for detecting tiredness in
real time, making it well-suited for immediate practical applications. However, the study acknowledges some limitations.
Notably, the system's efficacy may be hampered in low visibility conditions or while driving at night, when lighting may be
insufficient for perfect eye detection. Furthermore, difficulties emerge when recognising.
