Faille Winter

Stop accidents before they stop you

Inspiration

Winter is a season full of festive cheer where people travel all over the world to visit friends and family. Winter is also a season where people feel drowsy and just want to hibernate! So, it would be dangerous if the person falls asleep while driving and there are high chances of car accidents! To keep encourage road safety, we have made an app that alerts the driver when they feel drowsy.

What it does

Closing eyes, blinking, yawning are some of the symptoms of feeling drowsy. Considering this, we have built an app, Faille Winter that rings the alarm when the driver shows any of these symptoms. This app accesses the camera, detects the blinking eyes, yawns, closed eyes using computer vision and alerts the driver when they are sleepy.

How we built it

We built our app on Android Studio using Java and XML. We used computer vision (Google Vision Library) to detect closed eyes and yawns in our app. We also included Splash-Screen, About Us, Facts page activities.

Challenges we ran into

Coming up with the UI and making the app within the time constraints was a bit challenging. We tried to use the OpenCV library at the beginning but we struggled to incorporate it with the app. So, we searched for alternatives and used the Google Vision Library.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have completed our app in the time we were given. We are satisfied with the look and functionalities of the app. We are proud to be able to incorporate Google Vision Library for the detection. We are happy to play a small role in road safety!

What we learned

We explored the Google Vision Library. We learnt how to balance time between designing the UI and building the app on Android Studio. In addition to that, we learnt how to work with limited time constraints and give our best amidst pressure.

What's next for Faille Winter

We wish to add a few more features like GPS to track the car, making calls to some others if the driver is too drowsy to drive. The most precious feeling to a person is the safety of their family. And we tried to ensure that by making amazing predictions about a person's level of drowsiness. Fewer accidents and more happiness can make your winter!
