A biometric-based intelligent monitoring system for early detection and prevention of driver fatigue and distraction

Computer information technology is increasingly used in safety applications. Driver health and conduct are crucial as they significantly impact road safety. Drivers, especially those with chronic conditions, face heightened risks. A Driver Monitoring System (DMS) utilises sensors and algorithms to monitor behaviour and physiology in real-time to detect fatigue, distraction or impairment. The proposed system tracks blood pressure, oxygen levels and heart rate, alerting the driver or intervening when necessary. The aim of this paper is to suggest ways to consider certain factors that are crucial to ensure the safety of drivers. By implementing a system that keeps track of the driver's condition, a significant number of accidents can be avoided. There are many software packages available in today's industry that offer different driver monitoring devices.
