Track: Sensors and Sensing

Abstract

Drowsiness appears in situations of stress and fatigue unexpectedly and inconveniently. It may be produced by sleep disorders, certain types of medications, and even boredom because of driving for an extended period. The sleeping sensation reduces the level of vigilante, producing danger situations and increases the probability of an accident occurring. Those in the prime of their lives are particularly vulnerable, with road injuries the leading cause of death among those 15-29 years old. The results in terms of damage, injury, and death can be only as permanent. Drivers who are tired and sleepy have delayed reactions and make bad decisions. This study intends to develop a device or a system that will help drivers in minimizing road accidents. The review uses the concept of the Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Test as it follows the maximization of the ease, efficiency, and safety of the product and also to have well-designed software that has a sizeable impact on learning time, performance speed, error rates, and personal satisfaction.
