Abstract

This paper describes a driver drowsiness detection and alarming system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that uses an eye blink sensor to improve driver safety by monitoring drowsiness levels and providing timely notifications to prevent accidents caused by driver exhaustion. To collect relevant driving-related data, the system combines a number of sensors, including an eye motion sensor. The driver’s eye movements and blink patterns are recorded by the eye blink sensor and analysed by advanced algorithms to figure out sleepiness levels. To collect data on the driver’s behaviour and vehicle dynamics, additional sensors such as steering angle sensors and accelerometers may be included. The acquired data is processed and analysed in real-time using machine learning techniques to uncover patterns linked with lethargy. For proper interpretation, algorithms evaluate characteristics such as blink duration, blink frequency, and eye closure duration when determining fatigue degree. By continuously monitoring these characteristics, the system can detect early signs of lethargy and take appropriate action. Finally, the IoT-based driver nap detection and alarm system with an eye blink sensor is an excellent way for detecting driver weariness and notifying drivers in real time. By utilizing innovative sensor technology, data processing algorithms, and networking, this system greatly improves driver safety and mitigates the risks associated with fatigued driving.
