MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048421 A) filed by Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute Of Technology; Dr. K. Maheswari; S. Rizwana Banu; S. Sravani; and N. Lokesh, Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, on April 16, for 'an intelligent driver safety assurance system using eye aspect ratio and sensor fusion.'
Inventor(s) include Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute Technology; Dr. K. Maheswari; S. Rizwana Banu; S. Sravani; and N. Lokesh.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This project focuses on developing an intelligent driver safety assurance system designed to reduce road accidents caused by driver drowsiness and unsafe driving conditions. The system uses Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR)-based vision analysis to continuously monitor driver eye behavior through a USB camera and detect prolonged eye closure in real time. A Raspberry Pi controls system operation and performs real- time processing with low power consumption. To improve detection accuracy, a MEMS sensor monitors abnormal head movements, while an ultrasonic sensor detects nearby obstacles and measures distance for collision awareness. The system provides immediate audio-visual alerts using a buzzer and LCD display when unsafe conditions are detected. A GSM module enables automatic transmission of emergency notifications to predefined contacts during critical situations. With integrated sensor fusion and embedded processing, the proposed system offers a reliable, non-intrusive, and cost-effective solution for enhancing driver safety and preventing fatigue-related accidents."
