• Driver's drowsiness is the main reason for vehicular
accidents. Drowsy driving is the form of impaired driving
•that continuously affects a person's ability to drive safely.
Continuous restless driving for longer time may result in
•drowsiness and cause accidents. In this study, a collaborative
system is build which assist the user and identifies
•his/her state while driving in order to improve safety by
preventing accidents. Based on grayscale image processing,
•the position of the driver's face and his/her head movement is
analysed. The driver's state identification also includes
•the detection of alcohol consumption with the help of sensors.
The number of deadly traffic accidents are increasing every year
with the increase in number of vehicles, thereby increasing the
damage in properties.

One of the main cause for these ever increasing accidents is

driver drowsiness and alcohol consumption. According to the
global status report on road safety given by WHO which reflects
information from about 180 countries has indicated that
worldwide the total number of road traffic death has plateaued at
1.25 million per year, with India reporting about 1.34 lakh
fatalities in road accidents every year, a vast 70 percent of them
being due to drunken driving
A way to minimize this vast number is to use advanced
techniques for driver assistance. Driver monitoring can be
doneby using two ways: direct and indirect driver related
measures.
1. Alchol Detection
2. Driver Drowsiness Detection
 LITERATURE SURVEY
Yuichi Saito, Makoto Itoh, Toshiyuki Inagaki have described an assistance
system which effectively prevents sleep related accidents.
They presented a multilayered assistance with dual control scheme which can
help in reducing sleep related accidents.
This assistance system interacts with driver to determine driver’s state in a
multilayered way. They used driving simulator which was equipped with
assistance system for investigating the effectiveness of finding out drowsiness
of driver and avoiding
accidents due to lane departure.
They proposed a framework for monitoring driver’s state.
Presented a survey which includes the techniques for detecting driver
drowsiness by monitoring the driving pattern. A number of measures like
subjective, physiological, behavioral and vehicular were used in this model.
Among various behavioral measures the most precise and effective is head
movement measure
 Drowsiness detection usingEye Blink
Detection using Facial Landmarks
We show that the landmarks are
detected precisely enough to reliably
estimate the level of the eye opening.
The proposed algorithm therefore
estimates the landmark positions,
extracts a single scalar quantity – eye
aspect ratio (EAR) characterizing the
eye opening ineach frame.
Finally, an SVM classifier detects
eyeblinks as a pattern of EAR values
in a short temporal window.
The simple algorithm out performs the
state-of-the-art results on two
standard datasets
 There is a relation between the width and
the height of these coordinates.
• Real-Time Eye Blink Detection using Facial Landmarks, we can
then derive an equation that reflects this relation called the eye
aspect ratio (EAR):

• Where p1, …, p6 are 2D facial landmark locations.

• The numerator of this equation computes the distance between the

vertical eye landmarks while the denominator computes the
distance between horizontal eye landmarks, weighting the
denominator appropriately since there is only one set of horizontal
points but two sets of vertical points.
The dlib library uses a pre-trained face detector which is based on a modification
to the Histogram of Oriented Gradients + Linear SVM method for object
detection.
