Description - Currently, the system detects drowsiness and issues alerts to the driver. But in real world use if the driver actually becomes unresponsive or an accident occurs there is no way for the system to alert others.
I would like to add a emergency contact module that can allow user to configure one or more emergency contacts. If the driver remains unresponsive after repeated alerts it automatically sends a message to the emergency contact, which also include live location if GPS available.
Implementation idea -
• Store emergency contact details in a config file or through a simple UI input.
• Use APIs like Twilio (SMS) or SMTP (email) for sending alerts.
• For location include a Google Maps link in the message.
Benefits -
- Real world safety value, makes system more life saving
- It ensures timely assistance in case of accident
