OBJECTIVES

■ To develop a system using machine learning that can prevent a driver from getting
distracted or drowsy while driving.
■ To overcome the problem related to accidents leads to a need to design a system
that keeps the driver focused on the road.
EXISTING PROBLEM STATEMENT

A driver can get distracted or drowsy while driving so,

1. How to find out if the driver is distracted or drowsy?
2. How to prevent the driver from getting distracted or drowsy?
3. How to ensure that the driver will not get drowsy or distracted in the future?
PROPOSED PROBLEM STATEMENT

The existing problem statements can be split into subparts parts after which the
problem statements become easier to find answers of
■ The distracted or drowsy driver can be split into:
1. How to detect the driver’s face?
2. How to track the driver’s head movement?
3. How to track the driver’s eyes to notice any potential drowsiness or distraction?
■ Use sound, vibrations or some other medium to make the driver attentive again?
■ Use intelligent entertainment system assistant to prevent the driver from getting
drowsy again?
MOTIVATION FOR THE PROJECT

■ Distracted or drowsy drivers are one of the leading causes for accidents.
■ Much threat to themselves and others around them. Can cause fatal accidents.
■ The devised system can alert the driver from driving while being drowsy.
■ Can save lives.
TECHNOLOGIES USED
Drowsiness Detection:

■ Tenserflow
■ OpenCV
■ Scipy
■ Numpy
■ Keras
■ Matplotlib
■ Pandas
■ Python
■ NLTK: Natural Language Toolkit
EXPECTED OUTCOME

■ A system that prohibits a driver from driving under conditions such as drowsiness or
distraction.
■ A system that can take control of the situation if the driver becomes unable to drive
under any circumstance.
