Drowsy driving contributes to an estimated 9.5% of all crashes, according to AAA foundation. In many cases the drivers are not aware that they drive tired.
The project’s goal is to build an application that can detect drowsiness and alert about it.
To detect drowsiness, we use the “Muse” brain sensing EEG device. Using its four sensors, we can determine whether the driver is tired. We process the EEG waves in a way that shows us when the driver is blinking.
According to research, the more tired the driver is, the longer his blinks last. We used relevant articles to set the time limit for a blink to 500ms.
In result, we got an application that alert from fatigue of drivers. In can prevent many car accidents, especially on long highway travels.
