INTRODUCTION
Studies of road safety found that human error was the sole cause in more than half
of all accidents. One of the reasons why humans commit so many errors lies in the
inherent limitation of human information processing .With the increase in
popularity of Telematics services in cars (like navigation, cellular telephone,
internet access) there is more information that drivers need to process and more
devices that drivers need to control that might contribute to additional driving
errors. This paper is devoted to a discussion of these and other aspects of driver
safety. First introduced in US Sensor/Software system detects and counteracts
sleepiness behind the wheel. Seventies staples John Travolta and the Eagles made
successful comebacks, and another is trying: That voice in the automobile
dashboard that used to remind drivers to check the headlights and buckle up could
return to new cars in just a few years—this time with jokes, a huge vocabulary, and
a spray bottle.
DISCUSSION
• “The artificial driver assistance is an artificial intelligence–based companion that will be
resident in software and chips embedded in the automobile dashboard”. It is a Natural
Language E-companion. It is a Sleep preventive device in cars to overcome drowsiness. It is a
Life safety system. The heart of the system is a conversation planner that holds a profile of
you, including details of your interests and profession. A microphone picks up your answer
and breaks it down into separate words with speech recognition software. A camera built into
the dashboard also tracks your lip movements to improve the accuracy of the speech
recognition. A voice analyzer then looks for signs of tiredness by checking to see if the
answer matches your profile. Slow responses and a lack of intonation are signs of fatigue.
This research suggests that we can make predictions about various aspects of driver
performance based on what we glean from the movements of a driver’s eyes and that a system
can eventually be developed to capture this data and use it to alert people when their driving
has become significantly impaired by fatigue. The natural dialog car system analyzes a
driver’s answer and the contents of the answer together with his voice patterns to determine if
he is alert while driving. The system warns the driver or changes the topic of conversation if
the system determines that the driver is about to fall asleep. The system may also detect
whether a driver is affected by alcohol or drugs.
AIM & OBJECTIVES
The aim of the new system is to prevent accident by preventing the driver, falling
asleep during long and solo trip.
The objectives are:
I. A primary objective of the invention is to provide a system and method for
monitoring driver alertness with a single camera focused on the face of the driver
to monitor for conditions of driver fatigue and lack of sleep.
II. Monitoring driver alertness which operates in real time which would be sufficient
time to avert an accident.
III. Monitoring driver alertness that uses a computer vision to monitor both the eyes
and the rotation of the driver's head through video sequences.
HOW THE NEW SYSTEM WORK
Detects alarm conditions through sensors. Broadcasts pre-
stored voice messages over the speakers. Captures images of
the driver.
• Devices Used In Artificial Driver Assistance
The main devices used are:
Eye tracker or Camera.
Voice recognizer or speech recognizer.
Touch sensors
BENEFIT
Artificial Driver assistance is broadly used to prevent accident. The device
is also used for entertainment such as it telling jokes and asking question .
The component establishes interface with other drivers very easily. Open
and close the window of a car automatically and also answer a call for you.
If the driver gets a heart attack or he is drunk it will send signals to vehicles
nearby about this so driver there become alert. Provide a natural dialog car
system that understands content of tapes, books and radio programs.
CONCLUSION
We suggested that such important issues related to a driver safety, such as
controlling Telematics devices and drowsiness can be addressed by a special speech
interface. This interface requires interactions with workload, dialog, event, privacy,
situation and other modules. We showed that basic speech interactions can be done
in a low-resource embedded processor and this allows a development of a useful
local component of Safety Driver Manager. The reduction of conventional speech
processes to low – resources processing was done by reducing a signal processing
and decoding load in such a way that it did not significantly affect decoding
accuracy and by the development of quasi-NLU principles. We observed that an
important application like Artificial Passenger can be sufficiently entertaining for a
driver with relatively little dialog complexity requirements – playing simple voice
games with a vocabulary containing a few words. Successful implementation of
Safety Driver Manager would allow use of various services in cars (like reading e-
mail, navigation, downloading music titles etc.) without compromising a driver
safety.
