HIRO: An Intelligent System for Drowsy Driving Detection
| Challenge: | Information | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Wood Buffalo | | City: | Fort McMurray, AB | | School: | Westwood Community High School | | Abstract: | I developed a cost efficient drowsiness detection system called HIRO. HIRO uses neural networks to detect the physical closure of the eyes, calculate the frequency of yawning, and capture heart rate. HIRO provides data to the users about their driving and sounds alarms based on drowsiness levels to advise the driver accordingly. |
