Description

— it is a key issue to prevent life and property from the accidents caused by vehicle drivers. Alcohol can, speed, drowsy driving, and sudden heart attack are the major reasons for road accidents, which can lead to severe physical injuries, deaths, and serious economic losses. Various methods have been proposed to detect automatically those causes to prevent accidents. We have addressed an automatic system to provide protection of drivers and travelers by dint of computer vision techniques along with embedded systems and mobile communication methodologies. Sleepy modes detection and then awaken of drivers have been controlled with computer vision methods, while mobile communication and car control have been performed by embedded system components. Primary implemented method showed its potential effectiveness. If our system could be adopted in the future, the accidents related to drivers would be reduced significantly in all over the world.
