Sudden unintended acceleration avoidance and drowsiness detector for automobile accidents prevention

Ever increasing number of accidents while driving can be significantly reduced if modern technology is introduced within the automobile to monitor the physical condition of the driver at every instance during the movement of the vehicle and precautionary measures are taken for the safety of the driver. In this paper, a design of drowsiness detector system and pedal mix-up avoidance is presented. Detection of drowsiness is introduced which can monitor the eye movement and eye blinking of the driver at regular intervals during his/her driving and, if required, can provide an audible alarm within the vehicle to alert the driver or introduce braking system. Pedal mix-up avoidance system is a system used to avoid the sudden unintended acceleration caused by a driver while parking, traffic jams or under disastrous consequences. In case of pedal mix-up, when the vehicle is in parking or traffic jam or under an unconscious state of mind, he/she might mistakenly raise the gas level instead of brake which leads to disastrous accidents. Under such situations, unintended acceleration avoidance system decides the correct pedal and raise the brake whenever mistakenly accelerator is been raised. The design of the system has been successfully implemented which produces an outcome that such a system can help in avoidance of sudden unintended acceleration and also help in keeping the driver awake while driving. Thus, this system facilitates in avoidance of any traffic accidents.
