Every year many people lose their lives due to fatal road accidents around the world and Drowsiness and Fatigue of drivers are amongst the significant causes of road accidents. Alcohol, Overwork, Stress, and even Medical conditions can cause drivers to fall sleep. It is very important to detect the drowsiness of the driver to save life and property. So to reduce the accidents and save the life of a driver we propose to develop a system called as Driver Drowsiness Detection (D3 ) system. This system can automatically detect driver drowsiness in a real-time video stream and then play an alarm if the driver appears to be drowsy. Haar Cascade classifier, facial landmarks and computing Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) to ensure proper detection of drowsiness in order to avoid accidents. For implementing this system we used libraries like Opencv and dlib.
