The report proposes the research conducted and the project made in the field of computer engineering to develop a system for driver drowsiness detection to prevent accidents from happening because of driver fatigue and sleepiness. The report proposed the results and solutions on the limited implementation of the various techniques that are introduced in the project. Whereas the implementation of the project give the real world idea of how the system works and what changes can be done in order to improve the utility of the overall system. Furthermore, the paper states the overview of the observations made by the authors in order to help further optimization in the mentioned field to achieve the utility at a better efficiency for a safer road. A person driving needs to be able to focus on driving at all instances. Any prolonged or sudden complications to the person driving the vehicle can cause serious accidents/damages. To ignore the importance of this could result in severe physical injuries, deaths and economic losses. Road incidents remain the leading type of fatal work-related event, carrying tremendous personal, social, and economic costs. While employers with a fixed worksite can observe and interact directly with workers in an effort to promote safety and reduce risk, employers with workers who operate a motor vehicle as part of their job have fewer options. Drowsiness detection system is regarded as an effective tool to reduce the number of road accidents. This project proposes a non-intrusive approach for detecting drowsiness in drivers, using Computer Vision. Developing various technologies for monitoring and preventing drowsiness while driving is a major trend and challenge in the domain of accident avoidance systems.

Haar face detection algorithm is used to capture frames of image as input and then the detected face as output.
