Drowsiness while driving can prove lethal and is known to be one of the major causes of road accidents, particularly during the darker hours of the day. This Active Driver Monitoring system we came across however helps keep drivers alert. Using a bunch of sensors, the system monitors a driver’s eye and head movements and detects when a person’s sleepy. Also, the system measures a driver’s hear-rate as well as a person’s perception-level of awareness. A perfect companion on particularly lonely drives where a lack of a fellow-traveler can easily render boredom and lead to drowsiness, a system like this in cars could help prevent road accidents by the dozen!
