Abstract
An embedded system is designed to address the issue of drowsy driving by using a microcontroller and a pulse sensor. This system combines multiple sensors, including the pulse sensor, with a microcontroller to monitor a driver’s vital signs and behaviour. The microcontroller acts as the central processing unit, collecting data from the sensors, analyzing it, and making informed decisions. Specifically, the pulse sensor measures heart rate and heart rate variability, which can provide insights into a driver’s physiological state, especially when drowsiness leads to changes in these parameters. The compact size and low power consumption of this embedded system make it suitable for integration into various vehicles, from personal cars to commercial fleets. In conclusion, this abstract emphasizes the potential of integrating such a system into vehicles to enhance road safety by detecting drowsy drivers and reducing accidents associated with drowsy driving.
In essence, this technology embodies the spirit of looking out for one another. It transforms every journey into a secure experience where drivers and passengers can travel with confidence, knowing they are shielded by a caring, understanding companion. It’s not just about avoiding accidents; it’s about fostering a culture of safety, where we all contribute to making our roads a better place for everyone.
