Introduction-
Road safety is a major concern, with
driver fatigue being a leading cause of
accidents worldwide. This project aims
to design a smart driving alarm
system using Internet of Things (IoT)
technology.
It detects signs of drowsiness or
distraction and alerts the driver in
real-time, helping prevent potential
mishaps.
OBJECTIVES-
• To develop a wearable driver alert system using smart
spectacles.
• To detect eye closure or drowsiness using an IR sensor.
• To activate an alarm when the driver becomes inattentive.
• To increase mobility and usability through a portable solution.
Components-
IR Sensor
Glasses
Arduino nano
5v Relay Module
Motor & Wheel
Buzzer
9v Battery
How the Spectacles Gadget Works
The IR sensor is attached to the inner side of the spectacle
frame, facing the driver’s eye.
It continuously monitors eye movement.
If the driver’s eyes remain closed beyond a certain time, the
sensor sends a signal to the Arduino.
The Arduino then activates a buzzer or vibration motor as a
warning.
ADVANTAGE
• Increases driver awareness and
reduces risk of accidents
• Easy to wear light weight and
comfortable.
• flexible, and easy to use
• Low power consumption
• Can be used by any driver, any vehicle
LIMITATIONS-
• Battery life must be managed
• May need adjustment for different head
sizes or eye positions
• IR sensor may be affected by bright
sunlight
• Spectacle wearers only (custom version
needed for non-wearers)
Future Enhancements-
• Add Bluetooth to send alerts to mobile phone or emergency
contacts
• Add camera module for facial recognition
• Include GPS for live location sharing in emergencies
• Replace buzzer with bone-conduction audio or subtle
vibration
Real-World Applications
• Ideal for truck drivers on long journeys.
• Can be used by night-shift drivers and delivery personnel.
• Helpful in public transportation (bus, taxi) for fatigue management.
• Usable by the elderly or people with medical conditions like sleep
apnea.
CONCLUSION-
The spectacles-based Arduino alarm system is a cost-effective,
wearable solution to reduce driver fatigue-related accidents. It
allows for easy usage without modifying the vehicle and opens
the door to future smart wearable safety tech in transportation.
