Driver inattention is a major contributor to road accidents worldwide, with fatigue responsible for nearly 20–30% of incidents each year. This study presents SafeDrive Alert System, a camera-based system that monitors driver behavior by detecting signs such as eye closure, head movement, and loss of focus using computer vision techniques. The system utilizes methods like Eye Aspect Ratio and facial landmark analysis, and its performance is evaluated using real-world driving data, achieving approximately 95% detection accuracy. Designed as a cost- effective solution, it can be easily deployed in vehicles such as taxis and trucks, with potential extensions for connected vehicle systems and additional safety features.
