Advanced Driver Monitoring System Using Raspberry Pi
The Advanced Driver Monitoring System is an embedded safety platform built using a Raspberry Pi and sensor fusion. The system is designed to detect unsafe driving behaviours in real time to prevent road accidents. A key feature of the system is the use of an IR sensor to monitor the driver for drowsiness by detecting prolonged eye closure. In addition to fatigue monitoring, the system includes a heart rate sensor to track the driver’s physical stress and an alcohol sensor to detect intoxication. By combining these inputs, the Raspberry Pi can identify if a driver is too tired, unwell, or impaired to drive safely.When a risk is detected, the system provides immediate feedback through an LCD, an audible buzzer, and LED indicators. Furthermore, the Raspberry Pi connects to a DC motor control unit to automatically and gradually reduce the vehicle's speed. This sensor-based approach offers a low-cost and efficient alternative to expensive camera systems, providing a reliable way to improve road safety through real-time alerts and controlled deceleration.
