1.AN AUTOMATIC DRIVER DROWSINESS ALERT SYSTEM BY USING GSM AND RASPBERRY PI

Drowsy is the reason for most of the road accidents. Manually tracing the drowsy driver is not an easy task, because every day thousands of vehicles are running on the roads. So we need a system that must come with every car and if it detects the sleepy driver it must stop the vehicle immediately. 

In addition to this if the driver is slept the vehicle will be stopped, and it monitors the heartbeat, Respiration rate and temperature of the driver and displays it in the LCD. These three parameters are very important because it shows the body status of the driver. These parameters are monitored manually and in case of emergency the in-charge of the ward calls the doctor.

This paper also discusses the various ways in which drowsiness can be manipulated in a simulated environment. The proposed system is used to avoid various road accidents caused by drowsy driving and also this system used for security purpose of a driver to caution the driver if any fire accident or any gas leakage. This paper involves avoiding accident to unconsciousness through Eye blink.

Here one eye blink sensor is fixed in vehicle where if driver lose his consciousness, then it alerts the driver through buzzer to prevent vehicle from accident. The alcohol and temperature sensor are used for further safety system in the vehicle. Development of a hybrid microcontroller for a vehicle which also consists of an alcohol and temperature detector which will sense if the driver is drunk and would not start the vehicle.

A complete study on road safety is going to be the next boom for the automobile industry for it to flourish and survive every human from the risk. The main advantage of this paper is the accuracy of using physiological parameters to detect drowsiness is really high. This helps in preventing most of the road accidents that occur due to fatigue.
