Abstract

Due to the increasing demand of transportation, vehicles are operating almost non-stop, day and night. This generally creates a tiring schedule for the vehicle as well as for the drivers of those vehicles. A huge number of road accidents occur due to the fatigue of the drivers. Fatigue makes the person drowsy, and they need sleep. Here, a system is proposed to detect the drowsiness of the driver. The system consists a camera to be installed in front of the driver to capture the face of the driver. As a region of interest, first the face will be traced and then the eye of the driver. Now through a pre-trained CNN model, the eye that is closed or opened will be decided. If the time duration exceeds some threshold, then an alarm will be ringed. The CNN is trained with a data set of 7000 images of open and close eye in different light condition. The experiments performed with the system in different condition, like gender, day, night, etc., and with some volunteer drivers. The results are interesting and satisfactory. There could be lots of refinement on the system and a mature system can be generated.
