Abstract

In this project, the aim is to develop a prototype drowsiness detection system to address driver fatigue, a major cause of accidents worldwide. The system detects driver drowsiness by monitoring eye blinks and yawning. If the driver's eyes remain closed for an extended period or if yawning is detected, an alarm is sounded. Programming for this system is conducted in OpenCV, utilizing the Haar cascade library for face detection and other machine learning libraries to detect facial features. The system operates in real-time and is nonintrusive, prioritizing driver safety without being obtrusive. By effectively monitoring driver alertness and issuing timely warnings, this system contributes significantly to enhancing road safety. Keywords - Driver fatigue, drowsiness detection, eye blink, yawn detection, OpenCV, Haar cascade, machine learning, facial features.
