Design and implementation of a driving assistance system in a car like robot when fatigue in the user is detected

Abstract

In this article it is presented a driving assistance system when drowsiness is detected in the driver, the system is tested by a car like robot that is wirelessly controlled by a computer in which it is connected a joystick that consists in a steering wheel and pedals, and a computational interface developed in Visual Studio 2010 which emulates an automobile panel, with these elements the user is able to drive the robot. Through an artificial vision system the driver's head orientation is monitored for determining if he/she is in a drowsiness state; if so, the robot control turn into automatic and the robot pull over to the right side of the way (built track).
