description

Drowsiness is a critical factor impairing drivers’ performance in driving safely. There are several approaches in dealing with this issue based on human-machine interaction to detect drivers’ dozing off state, and then alert them to keep awake by sound or visual. These techniques fundamentally measure driver’s physical changes such as head angle, fatigue level and eyes states which are the indicators of drowsy state. However, they are limited in providing accurate and reliable results. Therefore, the project aims to achieve higher accuracy rate of drowsiness detection by using a very potential technology, electroencephalography (EEG) which is used widely in medical areas. Other than providing reliable result, the final product would bring more conveniences for customers with portability, easy-to-deploy and multi-device compatibility feature. In this project, its methodology first shows the strong correlation between drowsy state with brainwave frequency. Then a proposed system and testing plan are suggested based on the project objectives and available technologies. The final product is simply comprised of a hat with attached small electronic package used to record brainwave and a handheld device placing on dashboard of the car with an installed app. Finally, project management section will present in detail the human resources, scheduling, budget plan and risk analysis to show how it will be going to complete the project in six months.
