Intelligent Vehicular Communication System for Safe Driving using CAN Bus.

Modern vehicles are developed with many sensors and Embedded control units (ECU). CAN (Controller Area Network) bus play a significant role in handling the entire communication between the sensors and ECU.This paper proposes a system in which, the CAN-bus signals are acquired and analyzed to recognize driver’s drowsiness as well as driving sub-tasks. This paper contains the algorithms that are used for detection of drowsiness. The system is based on a real-time monitoring system. The objective is on improving the safety of the driver without being obtrusive and the eye blink of the driver is detected. If the driver’s eyes remain closed for more than a specified period of time, then driver is said to be drowsy and an alarm is sounded. The programming for this system is done in OpenCV software which contains Haarcascade library for the detection of facial features.
