Abstract All around the world there are a wide range of people who are affected by road accidents caused by driver drowsiness and fatigue. Drivers who are suffering from drowsiness are highly impacted in their ability to react, make decisions, and maintain focus on the road. Sometimes drivers do not know that they are becoming drowsy, and in that case an automated system should detect and alert them before an accident occurs. Our idea is whether a system can detect driver drowsiness in real time using only a standard webcam, without any specialized hardware. Well, it is possible by the combination of AI technology and computer vision. In our study, we used MediaPipe face landmark detection and built a system that can monitor the driver and alert them when drowsiness is detected. The system analyzes 478 three-dimensional facial landmarks from a live webcam feed and computes the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR), Mouth Aspect Ratio (MAR), and head pose angle from each frame. After deriving these features, we calculate a composite drowsiness score using weighted contributions of EAR (60%), yawn detection (25%), and head pose (15%). Additionally, we tested our system with real-world conditions including varied lighting, users with glasses, and different head positions to verify its robustness. Finally, we developed a full-stack web application consisting of a Python-Flask AI backend, a Node.js authentication server with MongoDB, and a React dashboard frontend. Our main aim is to reduce drowsiness- related road accidents and to make drivers aware of their fatigue levels in real time. If a driver is not showing signs of drowsiness, the system continues passive monitoring without interruption, allowing the driver to focus entirely on the road.
