Project

The project proposes an Advanced Anti-Sleep Alarm System for drivers using an Arduino Nano and an IR sensor to detect drowsiness in real-time. If a driver's eyes remain closed for more than three seconds, an alarm is triggered to wake them, potentially reducing road accidents. The system is cost-effective, easy to implement, and has applications in various driving scenarios, though it has limitations such as accuracy and dependency on the driver wearing the device correctly.

Advanced Anti-Sleep Alarm System for
Drivers Using Arduino Nano

Abstract:-
Driver fatigue is a major cause of road accidents. This project introduces a cost-
effective, wearable system using an IR sensor, Arduino Nano, and a buzzer to
detect drowsiness in real-time. If the driver’s eyes stay closed beyond 3 seconds,
a loud alarm is triggered to wake them. For demo purposes, a relay cuts off a
motor simulating the vehicle. This device can reduce accidents and enhance road
safety.

S.No Components Quantity Price(PKR)
1 Arduino Nano 1 pice 900
2 IR sensor 1 pice 220
3 5V relay Module 1 pice 340
4 Buzzer 1 pice 100
5 9v Battery 2 pice 540 (270)
6 Motor & Wheel 1 pice 200
7 Safety Glasses Frame 1 pice 300
8 Wires and connection - 200
Delivery Charges 270
Total 2870
Tool Used:-
 Soldering kit
 Glue Gun
 Wooden board
 Multimeter (for testing)
 Arduino IDE(for Programing)

⚙️ Working Principle:
1. IR Sensor is mounted on the driver’s glasses. It continuously monitors the

driver's eyes.

2. If the driver’s eyes stay closed for more than a few seconds (indicating

drowsiness), the sensor sends a signal to the Arduino Nano.

3. Arduino triggers a buzzer to wake up the driver.

4.Optionally, the relay can be used to disconnect the vehicle's ignition or alert a

system (for demonstration, a motor and wheel represent vehicle movement).

Testing & Validation:


1. Wear the glasses with the mounted IR sensor.

2. Close your eyes for more than 3 seconds – the buzzer should activate.

3. Open eyes – the buzzer stops.

4. Observe the motor (optional demo vehicle) stopping when the buzzer is

triggered via relay.


Circuit Diagram:

Arduino Code(programing):
// PendTech

// Anti Sleep Alarm for Drivers using IR Sensor, Buzzer, and Motor

const int sensorPin = 2; // IR sensor connected to D2

const int motorPin = 8; // Motor connected to D8

const int buzzerPin = 9; // Buzzer connected to D9

unsigned long lastEyeCloseTime = 0;

void setup() {

pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);

pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);

pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH); // Motor ON initially

digitalWrite(buzzerPin, LOW); // Buzzer OFF initially

void loop() {

bool eyesClosed = !digitalRead(sensorPin); // LOW = eyes closed

if (eyesClosed) {

// Eyes are closed now, record the time

lastEyeCloseTime = millis();

digitalWrite(buzzerPin, LOW); // Buzzer OFF

digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH); // Motor ON

} else {

// Eyes are open, check how long they were closed

unsigned long elapsedSeconds = (millis() - lastEyeCloseTime) / 1000;

if (elapsedSeconds >= 3) {

digitalWrite(buzzerPin, HIGH); // Buzzer ON after 3 seconds

if (elapsedSeconds >= 4) {

digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW); // Motor OFF after 4 seconds

}
}

Applications of Anti-Sleep Alarm


for Drivers:
 Long-Distance Truck Drivers

 Helps prevent fatigue-related accidents during long-haul transportation by


alerting drivers when drowsiness is detected.

 Night Shift Workers

 Useful for cab, ambulance, or delivery drivers working late hours when
sleepiness is more common.

 Public Transport Vehicles

 Can be implemented in buses or trains to monitor drivers and improve


passenger safety.

 Personal Cars (for Highway Driving)

 Assists drivers on long road trips or highway drives where monotony


increases the risk of micro-sleep.

 Driver Training Institutes

 A safety feature for learners who might lose focus or feel tired during long
driving sessions.

 Industrial Machinery Operators

 Can be adapted to monitor machine operators working in hazardous


environments to ensure they remain alert.

 Fleet Management Systems


 Fleet managers can integrate this system with GPS/GSM modules to track
driver behavior and prevent risky driving due to fatigue.

Limitation for Anti-Sleep Alarm:


1. Limited Accuracy of IR Sensors
o IR sensors may give false readings in bright sunlight or if not
positioned correctly on the glasses.
2. Not Effective for Sunglass or Spectacle Users
o The system may struggle to detect eye closure if the user wears dark
or reflective lenses.
3. No Real-Time Data Logging or Alert to Others
o The basic version doesn’t store data or notify emergency contacts in
case of sleep detection.
4. Fixed Threshold (No Personalization)
o The 3-second delay is hardcoded and may not suit all users. Some
drivers may fall asleep even with shorter eye closures.
5. Not a Substitute for Rest
o It alerts a sleepy driver but doesn't solve fatigue itself. It's a temporary
safety measure, not a solution.
6. Battery-Powered – Limited Runtime
o Using 9V batteries limits usage time unless connected to a vehicle’s
power supply or USB source.
7. Can Be Ignored or Misused
o Drivers might turn off the buzzer or remove the glasses, bypassing the
system entirely.

Conclusion
The anti-sleep alarm system is a valuable tool for driver safety, particularly on long
drives. Using just a few electronic components and Arduino Nano, this project
detects drowsiness in real time and provides an immediate warning to prevent
accidents. It’s a great combination of electronics, safety innovation, and wearable
technology.
