"Driver Drowsiness Detection & Alerting System" is a groundbreaking project aimed at enhancing road safety by employing cutting-edge technology. This innovative system utilizes Arduino, an open-source electronics platform, to monitor a driver's alertness level during long journeys or monotonous driving conditions. By integrating various sensors such as facial recognition cameras, heart rate monitors, and even steering wheel sensors, the system can accurately detect signs of drowsiness or fatigue in real-time.
