INTRODUCTION
This design focuses on the placement of the sleeping sensors in a vehicle for maximum detection
of the driver’s eye contact, where if the driver closes his/her eyes for three seconds, the sensors
give a signal to the sleeping system which in turn uses the radar, LIDAR, cameras and parking
lights to direct the car auto drive therefore maintaining the car in the road, reducing the speed
while safely directing the vehicle for parking(Gao et al 2018). This structure attempts to
diminish, relieve or avert mishaps just as lessen the quantity of passings and wounds that happen
when the driver of an engine vehicle nods off or sleeps prompting the vehicle straying far from
the street. The design shows the sleeping sensors fitted at the on top of the rear-view mirror, right
centre windscreen board of the driver's seat and at the speedometer on the dashboard.
The sleeping system can also be fitted with an alert system for safety during driving by providing
high quality audible of surrounding areas and obstacles in the vicinity of the vehicle (Eyobu et al
2018). The sleeping system unit also includes the radar system which uses radio waves for
navigation and also to prevent accidents with respect to distance and proximity. Radio waves are
sent out and are reflected back/ bounces off upon contact with objects which makes it feasible
since they can work in all-weathers but cannot precisely differentiate objects.
PROBLEM DEFINITION
For many years, road accidents have increased due to drivers falling asleep while driving either
due to fatigue or lack of time to sleep and many other reasons. This design works to reduce,
mitigate or prevent accidents as well as reduce the number of deaths and injuries that occur when
the driver of a motor vehicle falls asleep or slumbers. The sleeping system unit also includes the
radar system which uses radio waves for navigation and also to prevent accidents with respect to
distance and proximity. Radio waves are sent out and are reflected back/ bounces off upon
contact with objects which makes it feasible since they can work in all-weathers but cannot
precisely differentiate objects.

EVALUATION
The design shows three projections of
the sleeping sensors fitted in the
vehicle giving a clear detection angle
of the driver’s eye contact. the first
sensor is fitted in the top rear-view
mirror which provides a 600 of the eye
contact.in addition, the rear view will
always be adjusted by the driver to
give him/her the rear view when
reversing, overtaking or during driving
(Kikhia et al 2018). the second sleeping
sensor is fitted at the speedometer at
the dashboard giving the upward 600
projection view of the driver's eye
contact. the third one is fitted at the
right centre board of the driver's seat
which is connected to the dashboard.
The three positions give 3600
projection view of the driver’s eye
contact hence the sensors will never
miss the eye contact.
