DRIVER FATIGUE AND DROWSINESS MONITORING SYSTEM

while driving in order to prevent the accidents. Driver drowsiness detection plays an important role in driver assistance systems. The main idea is to detect the drowsiness of a person This proposed approach will be a new accident avoidance system by reducing the complexity in the hardware which is going to be implemented in an automobile. The two main objectives of this system are to measure the pulse rate of the driver to detect his drowsiness/ fatigueness and to reduce the complexity in developing the control application such as speed control of a vehicle and giving an emergency signal through SMS to the nearest hospitals by using CAN protocol.
