Design and Development of Smart Driver Safety System using the Behavioural and Physiological Data Approach

Abstract

An automotive smart driver safety system for collision avoidance and warning is implemented by adopting invehicle communication. The implementation of the system is carried out for monitoring the driver of the vehicle using the behavioural and physiological data approach. The behavioural and physiological data is monitored by using various parameters of the driver like fatigue, drowsiness, attention diversion, abnormal heart rate, and stress levels. ARM CORTEX A-53 & ATMEGA 326 microcontrollers are used as a central processing unit. Sensors and a camera are used to monitor the driver as input. GPS receiver is used for collecting the vehicle information and direction of movement of the vehicle. This information along with the monitoring data is transmitted to the ARM CORTEX A-53 processor. Appropriate microcontroller coding is chosen. If any abnormal activity is detected the warning message will be displayed on an LCD screen or an alarm sound is given to the driver. The project proposes a low-cost and improved approach for Collision Warning and Accident Avoidance systems. A stable and reliable smart driver safety system is developed by considering ARM CORTEX A-53 microcontroller and GPS, GSM as a data communication platform.
