 INTRODUCTION
• According to national survey in UK and USA it is
observed that the driver fatigue annually causes
 1000 crashes.
 1500 deaths.
 7100 injuries.
• Majority of road accidents observed were caused
by eye-closure of one-half second to as long as 2
to 3 seconds.
• It is said that the normal human eye blinks lasts
0.2 to 0.3 second.

 EXISTING SYSTEM..

• Use of stimulation drinks like tea or coffee.

• Take some tablets to prevent sleeping.

Page 3
 In order to avoid the disadvantages of the
existing system IBM developed a
software to determine whether the driver
can respond alertly enough .

The device is named as

“ARTIFICIAL PASSENGER”

 What is artificial passenger?

• Artificial Passenger is broadly used to

prevent accident.

• Artificial Passenger device is also used for

entertainment such as it telling jokes and
asking question .

 What is artificial passenger?

• Artificial Passenger component establishes

interface with other drivers very easily .

• 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.

• Therefore AP is a Natural language companion

and acts as a Life safety system.

 About Artificial Passenger…..

• Artificial intelligence based companion

• Resident in the software and chips

embedded in the automobile dashboard.

• The heart of the system is a conversation

planner that holds a profile of one or more
drivers including details of his interests
and profession.
Page 7
 About Artificial Passenger…..

• A microphone picks up the driver’s answer and

breaks it down to separate words with speech
recognition software.

• An in-built camera placed on the dash board

keeps track of the driver’s facial state.

• A voice analyzer looks for signs of tiredness.

Page 8
 About Artificial Passenger…..

• If the driver reply clearly and quickly then he is

alert.

• If the response is slow the device assumes that

he is sleepy.

• If he is not active the AP will try to get the

attention of the driver by even sprinkling water
onto the driver’s face

 Mobile Indicator Device…
The driver can answer a call
using the touch sensitive
wheel.

 Camera..

A camera is used to keep

track of lips movement.

 Components used…

• Automatic speech recognition.(ASR)

• Natural language processor.(NLP)
• Driver analyzer.
• Conversational planner
• Alarm .
• External service provider.

Page 14
 Components
• Automatic Speech Recognition(ASR)

 Decodes the driver voice using NLP

• Natural Language Processor
 Process the decoded signal.
 Produces variants of responses
according to the driver’s input
• Driver Analyzer
 Receives the voice data and it
measure the time of response Page 15
 Components
• Conversational Planner(CP)
 Instruct the natural language processor to
produce the response
• Alarm
 If the CP receives information that driver is
asleep it activates the alarm system.
• External Service Provider
 The AP also has a wireless internet which is
used to constantly update the NLP library

 Working
• Aiming a single camera at the head of
the driver.

• Detecting frequencies of the head

movements of the driver within a
selected time period.

• Determine frequency of eye blinking and

eye closing.
Page 18
 Working

• Determine frequency of yawing if the driver

within selected time period.

• Generating an alarm signal if the above

frequencies exceeds a selected threshold
value

Page 19
 APPLICATIONS…
• Prevent driver from falling asleep during long
trips.
• Open and close the window of a car
automatically.
• It will answer a call for the driver.
• Artificial Passenger is also used for
entertainment.

Page 20
 FUTURE APPLICATIONS

• In the future, based on road, weather and

traffic conditions, AP will provide the
driver with shortest time routing.

• This is done with the help of GPS and

speech generator.

Page 21
 CONCLUSION

• Artificial passenger is an effective

mechanism to prevent driver fatigue.

• Successful implementation of artificial

passenger would decrease road accidents
to a great extent.
