Smart Anti-Sleep Alert System for Drivers

Smart Anti-Sleep Alert System for Drivers

Description:

The Smart Anti-Sleep Alert System for Drivers is a student working model built on a 40 × 50 cm base using foam board or sun board. This project is designed to detect driver drowsiness using an eye blink sensor and prevent accidents by issuing instant alerts through buzzers, LEDs, and an LCD display.

The system is controlled by an Arduino UNO microcontroller and simulates real-time vehicle movement using BO wheels and DVD motors. When the driver (simulated) blinks abnormally or closes eyes for extended periods, the eye blink sensor sends a signal to the Arduino, which then activates an alarm system (buzzer, LEDs, message on LCD) and can stop the vehicle motion in simulation.

🧰 Materials Used:

• Foam board or Sun board – base structure
• Arduino UNO – main controller
• Eye Blink Sensor – detects drowsiness
• Jumper Wires – for circuit connections
• BO Wheels – vehicle mobility
• DVD Motors – simulate vehicle motion
• Push Button – for reset/start actions
• LEDs – visual alert
• Buzzer – sound alert
• Power Distribution Board – manage power to modules
• LCD Module with I2C – to display alert messages

⚙️ How It Works (Working Principle):

1. Eye blink sensor continuously monitors eye movement.
2. When it detects abnormal blinking or long eye closure, it sends a signal to the Arduino UNO.
3. Arduino then:
   • Turns on the buzzer
   • Flashes LEDs
   • Displays a warning message on the LCD screen
   • (Optionally) stops the simulated vehicle using DVD motors

✅ Features:

• Real-time driver drowsiness detection
• Multi-alert system using sound, light, and display
• Simulates automated vehicle response
• Fully Arduino-controlled
• Compact and interactive model (40×50 cm)

🎯 Educational Value:

This model teaches students about:

• Embedded systems and sensors
• Arduino programming basics
• Real-world applications in vehicle safety
• Importance of alert systems in transportation
