Alarm theory :

Driver fatigue alarm system reminds the driver that he/she is in a

dangerous state.

The EA-430 (Make: Lumeway) uses a PERCLOS algorithm to

analyze the driver’s fatigue level.

The state of the driver’s eyes is constantly analyzed. The human

retina reflects infra-red light in a manner that can be used to

determine the eye’s condition. This varies just prior to falling

asleep. The EA-430 knows drivers are falling asleep before they

close their eyes.

If the EA-430 determines the driver is in a dangerous state a sharp

voice will alert the driver.
