Various studies have suggested that around 20% of all road accidents are fatigue-related, up to 50% on certain roads. Negative emotional responses are a growing problem among drivers, particularly in countries with heavy traffic, and may lead to serious accidents on the road. The focus of this study was to develop and verify an emotional response-monitoring paradigm for drivers, derived from Respiration signals, photoplethysmography signals, and eye blink signal. The relevant sensors were connected to a microcontroller unit equipped with a ZIGBEE-enabled low energy module, which allows the transmission of those sensor readings to a vehicle. When drowsiness is detected in driver then the driving mode is automatically going to automatic mode for driving using image processing and sent information to the transport department officer using GSM.
