2. Introduction
• IBM (International business machines
corporation, NYC) has developed a
software that holds a conversation with
the driver to determine whether the
driver can respond alertly enough, called
“Artificial Passenger”.
• This was designed to make long solo
journeys safer and more bearable.

3. Why Such System?
• According to a national survey in UK and USA, it is
observed that the driver fatigue annually causes
10000 crashes
1500 deaths
7100 injuries
• Majority of off-road accidents observed, were
caused by eye closure for 2-3 seconds, where the
normal human eye blinks at 0.2-0.3 seconds.

4. What is an Artificial Passenger?
• Natural language e-companion.
• Sleep preventive device in cars to overcome
drowsiness.
• Life safety system.

5. What Does It Do?
• Detects alarm conditions through sensors.
• Broadcasts pre-stored voice messages over
the speakers.
• Captures images of the driver.

7. About Artificial Passenger
• The AP is an Artificial Intelligence based
companion that will be resident in software and
chips embedded in the automobile dashboard.
• The system has a conversation planner that holds
a profile of you, including details of your interests
and profession.
• A microphone picks up your answer and breaks it
down into separate words with speech-
recognition software.

8. • A camera built into the dashboard also tracks
your lip movements to improve the accuracy
of speech recognition.
• A voice analyzer then looks for signs of
tiredness by checking to see if the answer
matches your profile. Slow responses and lack
of attention are signs of fatigue.
• If you reply quickly and clearly, the system
judges you to be alert and tells the
conversation planner to continue the line of
questioning.

9. • If your response is slow or doesn’t make
sense, the voice analyzer assumes you are
dropping off and acts to get your attention.
• If driver displays signs of fatigue, the artificial
passenger might be programmed to open all
the windows, sound a buzzer, increase
background music volume, or even spray the
driver with ice water.

10. Devices Used in Artificial
Passenger
• Eye tracker
• Voice recognizer or speech recognizer
• Natural language processor
• Driver analyzer
• Conversational planner
• Alarm
• Microphone
• Camera

11. Steps Involved in Tracking
• Automatically initialize lips and eyes
using color predicates and connected
components.
• Track lip corners using dark line between
lips and color predicate even through
large mouth movement like yawning.

12. • Construct a bounding box of the head.
• Determine rotation using distances between
eye and lip feature points and sides of the
face.
• Determine eye blinking and eye closing using
the number and intensity of pixels in the eye
region.

13. Applications
• Interface with Neighboring Cars -Determines if
a driver presents a high safety risk for ex.
falling asleep, tired, inexperienced or under
the influence of alcohol and signals the cars
nearby to be careful of the driver.
• Medical Application -The system can monitor
a driver and detect if they are sick ,for ex.
having a stroke or heart attack.

14. • In any problem it alerts the vehicles near by , so
the driver there can become alert.
• Opens and closes the doors and windows of the
car automatically.
• It is also used for the entertainment.
• Also used in cabins in airplanes, trains, boats etc

15. Advantages
• Artificial Passenger is broadly used to prevent
accident.
• Artificial Passenger component establishes
interface with any other drivers very easily.
• If the driver gets a heart attack or he is drunk
it will send signals to vehicles nearby about
this,so driver there become alert.

16. Disadvantages
• It is costly.
• It can only be installed to high profiled cars.

17. Future Application
• Will provide us with a shortest-time
routing based on road conditions
changing because of weather and traffic,
information of about the cars on the
route, destination requirement (as flight
has been delayed).
• The system will apply breaks when driver
fell ill.

18. Conclusion
• Method for monitoring driver alertness
• Sufficient time to avert an accident.
• Successful implementation of Artificial
passenger would allow use of various services
in car like reading emails, navigation,
downloading music files, voice games etc
without compromising on driver safety.
