Note: Work on this project started in november 2020 and is incomplete and under construction

Of all car accidents 94 percent are caused by driver error and 57 percent by distracted driving. A system that helps the driver to focus its attention on driving can reduce injuries and damages.

The driver coach system will check for 3D aspects:

• Distractions (eating, drinking, phone usage)
• Drowsiness (tired driver warning)
• Driving Maneuvers (errors, traffic rule violations, situational awareness, mirror checking)

The objective is to make driving safer by developing an affordable personal driving coach. Therefore I open sourced this plan and its code and hope others including companies and organisations will step in and adopt it.

On this page you will find lots of information brought together from various sources that will help you to understand the problem and whats required to develop a working solution. I have started to work on this project in november, intend to make a proof of concept device that i can demonstrate and at the same time make contact with several organisations to get them interested in adopting this project.

Inspirational video of some guys who developed their first proof of concept video do not take this very serious!! But use it as an example to learn that it does not have to be very complicated. source
