ARTIFICIAL PASSENGER


INTRODUCTION
According to national survey in UK and USA it is
observed that the driver fatigue annually causes
1000 crashes.
1500 deaths.
7100 injuries.
Majority of road accidents observed were caused by
eye-closure of one-half second to as long as 2 to 3
seconds.
It is said that the normal human eye blinks lasts 0.2
to 0.3 second.
EXISTING SYSTEM..
Use of stimulation drinks like tea or coffee.

Take some tablets to prevent sleeping.

In order to avoid the disadvantages of the existing
system IBM developed a software to determine
whether the driver can respond alertly enough .

The device is named as
ARTIFICIAL
PASSENGER
ARTIFICIAL PASSENGER
A sleep prevention dialogue based car system.

Design to make long solo journey more enjoyable
and safer.

Prevent drivers drowsiness via the speech
interactivity.
What does it do?
Engage in conversation with driver related to his
interest.

Also amuse the driver with the interactive games
or jokes.

More stimulating content for driver who appears
to be fatigued.
Components used
Automatic speech recognition.(ASR)
Natural language processor.(NLP)
Driver analyzer.
Conversational planner
Alarm.
External service provider.

AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION
(ASR)

To convert the acoustic signal captured by
microphone to the set of words .

Output of the ASR act as an input to further Natural
language processor.


FEATURES OF ASR

Should be working in real time circumstances.

Large vocabulary.

Speaker independent.

NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSOR
(NLP)

Form of human to computer interaction.

Required as computer cannot understand human
language.

Produce variant of responses according to driver
response.
DRIVER ANALYZER

Measure the time response using the in build clock.

Time response give us conclusion about the drivers
alertness.

These responses will pass on to the conversation
planner.
CONVERSATIONAL PLANER
It is heart of the system.

Hold the profile of the driver that include his
hobbies and profession.

Instructs the language generator to produce the
response.
ITS FUNCTION

If the driver is in perfect condition CP instructs the
language generator to continue the conversation.

otherwise , it will change the conversation or sound
an alarm , open up the window.

ALARM
If conversational planner receive that driver is
about to fall asleep an alarm system is activated.

MICROPHONE

For picking up words and separate
them by some internally used software
for conversation.


CAMERA
A camera is built on the dashboard or middle of
steering so as to track your lip movement to
improve the accuracy of the speech recognition.
EXTERNAL SERVICE
PROVIDER
For facilitating the communication in between the
dialog system and remotely located external service
provider.

External service provider is coupled through the
adapter to the car media ,driver analyzer module and
conversational planner.

WORKING OF ARTIFICIAL
PASSENGER
Camera rigged on to the steering wheel will monitor
the eye closure frequency.

If frequency exceed the threshold frequency ,
artificial passenger will be activated.

The system has a conversation planner that holds a
profile of you, including details of your interests and
profession.
WORKING
A microphone picks up your answer and breaks it
down into separate words with speech-
recognition software.

A camera built into the dashboard also tracks
your lip movements to improve the accuracy of
speech recognition.

WORKING..
A voice analyzer then looks for signs of tiredness
by checking to see if the answer matches your
profile. Slow responses and lack of attention are
signs of fatigue.

If you reply quickly and clearly, the system judges
you to be alert and tells the conversation planner
to continue the line of questioning.

WORKING.
If your response is slow or doesnt make sense,
the voice analyzer assumes you are dropping off
and acts to get your attention.

If driver displays signs of fatigue, the artificial
passenger might be programmed to open all the
windows, sound a buzzer, increase background
music volume, or even spray the driver with ice
water.
APPLICATION

Interface with Neighboring Cars -Determines if a
driver presents a high safety risk for ex. falling
asleep, tired, inexperienced or under the
influence of alcohol and signals the cars nearby
to be careful of the driver.

Medical Application -The system can monitor a
driver and detect if they are sick ,for ex. having a
stroke or heart attack.

It is also used for the entertainment.

Also used in cabins in airplanes, trains, boats etc

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
Will provide us with shortest time routing based
on road conditions changing because of weather
and traffic, information about the cars on the
route, destination requirement.

CONCLUSION
Method for monitoring driver alertness

Sufficient time to avert an accident.
