New system detects driver drowsiness using eye tracking

Researchers have developed a low-cost, real-time system to detect driver drowsiness using eye tracking and dynamic thresholding. The system aims to reduce road accidents caused by driver fatigue by monitoring eye patterns. When eyes are detected as closed for a specific duration, an alarm is triggered to alert the driver and prevent potential casualties. AI

IMPACT This system could improve road safety by providing a low-cost, real-time solution to detect and prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue.
