Drive Sentinel: A System that Watches Over and Protects Drivers

With the rapid increase in automobile usage, road accidents have also risen, highlighting the need for an effective accident prevention and detection system. This system detects driver drowsiness and yawning using facial analysis and alerts the user to prevent accidents. Additionally, a microcontroller continuously monitors vehicle parameters. The system doesn’t solely record the vehicle parameters data of the automobile periodically, but also actively monitors for any sudden vehicle accident detection. This system aims to alert the nearby medical center about the accident to provide immediate medical aid. The attached accelerometer in the vehicle senses the tilt of the vehicle to understand the seriousness of the accident. Upon detection, it sends real-time alerts via GSM and GPS to emergency contacts and the nearest medical center.
