Abstract
Accident due to drowsy is prevented and controlled when the vehicle is out of control. The term used here
for the recognition that the driver is drowsy is by using eye blink of the driver. In recent times drowsiness
is one of the major causes for highway accidents.
If the driver is drowsy or unconscious, then the system will give buzzer signal and the speeds of the
vehicle are reduced and stop finally when he/she is already asleep.
Chapter One

1. Introduction
1.1 back ground
1.2 Problem statement Driving is a challenging task where the driver has to be vigilant to take the
current decision on time to other drivers’ actions and different road conditions.
Reducing the number of vehicle crashes would benefit to save life of millions people around the world.
Vehicle accidents are most common if the driving is inadequate. These happen on most factors if the
driver is drowsy or if he is unconscious.

An essential concern of car accident prevention is human’s life, the most expensive and un recoverable
if once lost. Due to car accident humans may injured highly and as well as lose their life and it leads to
socio-economic disturbance. The accident has negative impact on the growth of one country by
damaging the man power and properties.
1.3 Objective of the project
1.3.1 General objective
The main objective of this project is to design and simulate a model that used to prevent car accident
due to drowsiness and unconscious.

1.3.2 Specific objective

To design eye blink sensor circuit
To develop micro controller based drowsiness detection system
To show a method how can prevent car accident by using IR sensor
To improve our knowledge on doing project
1.5 Scope and contribution
The scope of this project is to develop a system to prevent car accident due to drowsy by using eye blink.
We were design and simulate of system in this project. We will go on implementation the prototype of
project in the next semester.

2. Literature
Neeta Parmer made a project by using a small monochrome security camera that points directly towards
the driver’s face and monitors the driver’s eyes in order to detect fatigue in Ryerson University. The
system deals with using information obtained for the binary version of the image to find the edges of the
face, which narrows the area of where the eyes may exist. Once the face area is found, the eyes are found
by computing the horizontal averages in the area.
Important literates taken from the literature

The researcher notes two main branches of blink detection algorithms;

1. The first group of detection methods belongs to a static blink detection, which uses the
fact, that it can determine the current eye state (open or closed) for each eye frame from
the video sequence independently. Based on these methods, it can be analyzing captured
eye states to reveal blinks.
2. A second type of blink detection is a sequential method, which uses analysis of
consecutive frames to estimate possible blink occurrence. In contrast to static detection
methods, this approach cannot determine the actual eye state (open or closed) in every
point of the input video sequence
 Chapter Three

3.Methodology
This project tries to solve the problem by analyzing the eye blink of the driver using IR sensor. And it will
detect the eye blink rate and duration of the blink. For successful completion of this project some steps
will be followed to carry out different tasks. Starting from identifying the problem depends on current
issue we will undergo on revising of literatures, design our system model, simulate and finally implement
the prototype.
