Sleep Stopper

The Project

Sleep Stopper, a lifesaving Raspberry Pi operated device that monitors the driver’s activity and alarms them if he/ she falls asleep or doesn’t look at the road. 1 in 3 HGV drivers and 1 in 4 coach drivers reports falling asleep at the wheel while driving,and also, 1 in 25 drivers admit to falling asleep behind the wheel. Drowsy driving accounts for 328,000 crashes annually; 109,000 of those crashes resulted in an injury and about 6,400 were fatal. Sleep Stopper monitors the driver’s eyes, and, if the eyes are closed or not recognisable for 2 seconds, it emits an audible alert to awaken the driver.
