Driver alertness monitoring system in the context of safety increasing and sustainable energy use

Main Article Content

Abstract

Road transport is an important factor in carbon dioxide emissions. These emissions can be reduced by improving propulsion sources and traffic flow (avoiding traffic jams due to accidents). This article presents a system for monitoring and warning the driver to prevent a possible accident involving material damage, injury, or loss of life. The system performs video monitoring of the driver in order to determine his state (tired or attentive). By reducing traffic incidents and traffic jams, the energy consumed will not be wasted; thus, more sustainable transport energy use can be achieved.
