9 OUTCOME OF THE PROJECT 9

 Feeling sleepy while driving could cause hazardous traffic

accident. However, when driving alone on highway or driving

over a long period of time, drivers are inclined to bored and feel

sleepy, or even fall asleep.

 Nowadays most of the products of driver anti-sleep detection

sold in the market are simply earphone making intermittent

noises, which is quite annoying and inefficient. As such, there is

a high demand for cheap and efficient driver sleep detection.

Therefore, we came up with an idea to develop a driver anti-

sleep alarm system, which could effectively meet this demand.

 The goal of this project is to develop a system that can

detect the sleepiness of the driver and make alarms

accordingly.

 Accidents due to drivers falling asleep at the wheel are

quite common. Maybe a long and tiring day at the office

has drained your energy and all you want to do is return

home and sleep. Some drivers tend not to pay attention on

long stretches of a boring road they know too well and

without knowing it they doze off. We can protect our self

and our passengers with this anti sleep alarm.

Our safety is the first priority while travelling or driving. One mistake

of the driver can lead to severe physical injuries, deaths and significant

economic losses. Nowadays there are many systems available in market

like navigation systems, various sensors etc. to make driver’s work easy.

There are various reasons especially human errors which give rises to the

road accidents. Reports say that there is a huge increment in the road

accidents in our country since last few years. The main reason occurring

from the highway accidents are the drowsiness and sleepiness of driver

while driving. It is a necessary step to come with an efficient technique to

detect drowsiness as soon as driver feels sleepy. This could save large

number of accidents to occur. We conduct the survey on various designs on

drowsiness detection methods to reduce the accidents.

DESCRIPTION
 The circuit is built around Schmitt trigger, timer IC,

transistor, a relay and a logic gate. Around half an hour after

the reset of timer IC, transistors rive the buzzer to sound an

intermediate beep.

 If timer IC is not reset at that time, around one minute later

the output of gate conducts. Due to this the clock stops

counting further and relay energizes to deactivate the load.

This state changes only reset switch is pressed.

which will trigger the same events after half an hour.

APPLICATIONS

 Anti-sleep alarm can be used in many ways according to

our needs.

 It can be used by students while studying late at night. It is

a usual phenomenon that students tend to sleep while

studying but it can be hazardous sometimes like during

exam. I such cases an anti-sleep alarm can be used.

 Further it can be expanded by connecting systems that

switches off the appliances if the alarm is not reset. In the

field of driving it can be expanded by adding voice mails or

warning signs in the car whose driver has fallen asleep to

warn other car drivers that proximity of such a car should

be avoided.

OUTCOME OF THE PROJECT

 Anti-sleep alarm keeps you vigilant by sounding

intermittent beeps and emitting flashing light so as to

remind you that you are not on the bed but driving a

vehicle.

 This has the potential to save lives on the road. This project

has the potential to keep them awake or at least to tell them

when they are over tired and need to stop driving.
