“Implementación de un sistema de detección de sueño, en el vehículo eléctrico de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca”

Abstract

This thesis aims to develop a sleep detection system for the electric vehicle ofthe Catholic University of Cuenca, with the use of electronic equipment, artificial vision, and hardware and software devices to mitigate traffic accidents caused by tiredness or drowsiness. In its development, a proposal is presented, using a web camera, which allows monitoring and taking control of the user's face, to achieve this, an image treatment is conducted in real-time, achieved through the analysis of the characteristic features of each user. A key feature is that this design is non-invasive and adapts to changes that may occur in lighting and its environment. The methodology used follows a logical order of elaboration, that means, to begin with, the study of the state of the art and the theoretical foundation, later to achieve strong bases ofprior knowledge to the design and to reach the development of the system, then we proceed to carry out the design, with the use of electronic elements and hardware and software tools, so finally results and discussion are presented through conclusions and recommendations, the most important conclusion will be that the workload, added to depression and stress, cause constant blinking, in addition to heaviness in the head, gradually reducing the concentration of activities, causing the driver to lose his ability to respond when driving, causing accidents, which with the application of this project could be considerably reduced.
