Abstract :
In the modern day world, road accidents have become very common. They not only cause damage to property, but also keep at risk the lives of people travelling. Road safety is an issue of national concern, looking at its magnitude and the incidental negative impacts on the economy, public health, safety and the general welfare of the people. These road accidents may be due to many reasons like rash driving, drink and driving, inexperience, jumping signals, ignoring signboards. Since, road accidents is an important issue to be addressed, this paper will be concentrating on avoiding the road accidents by concentrating mainly on-Drunk driving or drowsiness and lane discipline. The paper has two parts. Firstly, lane detection using Hough Transform. Secondly, eye detection of driver for drowsiness detection. Thus, the main focus is on the fatigue of the driver and his maintenance of lane discipline.
