Composite Health, Safety Monitoring And Alarm System For Drivers Of Heavy Vehicles

Abstract: Composite Health, Safety Monitoring and Alarm system for drivers of Heavy Vehicles Road network plays an important role in transportation of a country, India has a network of over 6,215,797 kilometers. The two major concerns in road transport are traffic congestion control and the safety of the driver in accidents. The proposed system addressed the problems faced by heavy vehicle drivers and the traffic police monitoring the route. The system monitors the health status and attentiveness of the driver by using various sensors. The collected data from the sensor is analyzed and if any parameter is beyond the defined range, it is inferred that the condition of the driver is not appropriate for driving and notification for the same is communicated to the third parties such as surrounding vehicles, traffic police office and toll plaza etc. We also introduce the Vehicle number Scanning system (VNS) via smart camera to create a database of vehicles on a particular route. The (VNS) is used to keep a track of the number of vehicles passing by and the vehicles appearing on the route. The created repository is used to monitor the traffic congestion on route further which is used to control and guide the traffic on a particular route. Also, if any mishappening or accident happens nearby, an alarm system is used to transmit this information to the nearby vehicles or controller office.

Specification

Field of the Invention
This invention relates to composite health, safety monitoring and alarm system for drivers of heavy vehicles at highways along with vehicle number repository system
Background of the Invention
WO2015175435A1: Method and system for monitoring a vehicular driver in which images of the driver are obtained using an image obtaining device (200) and brain waves from the driver may be obtained using one or more sensors (310) on the seatbelt (304) worn by the driver. A processor (210) analyzes the images to derive a measure of flow of blood in at least one blood vessel, capillary and vein in the face of the occupant and then analyzes the blood flow over time and the obtained brain waves to determine whether the driver has lost the ability to continue to control the vehicle. Loss of ability to continue to control the vehicle exemplifies the driver becoming drowsy, falling asleep or otherwise being incapable of controlling the vehicle after initially having been awake or otherwise capable of controlling the vehicle.

Research Gap:
• This works, unable to identify the alert system to the third party or nearby vehicles on the same route.
• This doesn’t mention the inputs unit of the vehicles to take corrective measures in case of abnormal behavior or driver’s operational behavior.
• This effort fails to include the dedicated system that basically collect the précised information aggregated in repository about the vehicles present on that route. Which can later be utilized by Ministry of Road transport and Highways or petrol units.
US8847771B2, Pujitha Gunaratne, et al. disclose a method and apparatus for determining an inattentive state of an operator of a vehicle and for providing information to the operator of the vehicle by obtaining face images of the operator of the vehicle, obtaining images of an environment of the vehicle, determining one or more areas of interest in the environment of the vehicle based on the images of the environment, obtaining, from a relevance and priority database, relevance and priority values corresponding to the one or more areas of interest, determining a probability of attention of the operator of the vehicle to the one or more areas of interest based on the images of the environment and the relevance and priority values, determining an attention deficiency based on the determined probability of attention and the face images, and providing the information to the operator of the vehicle based on the determined attention deficiency.
Research Gap:
This attempt fails to include the repository system for nearby vehicles that basically collects the précised information aggregated in repository about the vehicles present on that route. Which can later be utilized by Ministry of Road transport and Highways or petrol units.

This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
According to the Global Status Report on Road Safety 2018, road safety continues to be a major developmental issue, public health concern, and a leading cause of death and injury around the world, having killed more than 1.35 million people, with 90 percent of these fatalities occurring in developing nations and India accounting for 11% of all fatal accidents. According to the 2019 Road Accident Report, 449,002 accidents occurred in the country in the calendar year 2019, resulting in 151,113 deaths and 451,361 injuries. National Highways, which account for 2.03 percent of the overall road network, continued to account for a disproportionate share of 35.7 percent of deaths in 2019, highlighting the need for greater enforcement and remedial measures in commercial vehicles running on roads.
India boasts one of the world's largest road networks, with over 6.6 million trucks traversing the country's length and width. The health of commercial vehicle drivers is a major concern, not just from a humanitarian standpoint, but also as a financial indication.
