Abstract

Driver fatigue is one of the key causes of road accidents, especially during long driving hours or late-night hours. Driver fatigue can be detected at an early stage in order to enhance road safety and avoid road accidents. In this paper, it is proposed to design a real-time driver drowsiness detection and alert system using blood pressure sensor signals. The proposed system will be designed in such a way that it continuously takes blood pressure readings from the blood pressure sensor and checks for unusual changes in blood pressure readings that may indicate driver fatigue. Once it detects unusual changes in blood pressure readings, it sends out an immediate audio alert for the attention of the driver. The proposed driver drowsiness detection and alert system is designed using Python programming for real-time data acquisition and decision-making. From the results of this research, it is concluded that blood pressure sensor signals can be used for monitoring driver fatigue in order to enhance road safety for drivers.
