FIRST YEAR STUDENTS AT RCOE SAILED THROUGH INTERCOLLEGIATE COMPETITIONS
The first-year students Khan Alisha Razzak, C.P Mohammed Bakar ,Shaikh Arshi Fatema, Fateh Mohammed Ali, Shaikh Mohammed Hussain Feroz of Rizvi College of Engineering participated in an intercollegiate competition on 28 February 2024 to celebrate National Science Day wherein they showcased their innovative idea about a project entitled Accident Prevention Using IR Sensors. They secured first position in this competition and got a cash prize amounting Rs 7000/. The same project was also showcased in Prakalp 2.0 at Fr.Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering,Bandra (W) in April 2024 and secured the runner up position.
Out of all participating teams, our students were only the students of first year engineering.
ANTI- SLEEP ALARM FOR DRIVERS
Details of the project:
Driver fatigue is a significant cause of road accidents, resulting in severe injuries and fatalities. To address this critical issue, a team of students at Rizvi College of Engineering, Bandra (Mumbai) has developed an innovative device named “Anti-Sleep Alarm for Drivers.” This device aims to enhance road safety by alerting drivers when they show signs of drowsiness, thereby preventing potential accidents caused by fatigue.
The “Anti-Sleep Alarm for Drivers” is a wearable device designed to monitor the driver’s condition and provide timely alerts to avoid accidents. The device uses a combination of sensors and intelligent algorithms to detect signs of drowsiness and fatigue.
Features and Functionality
- Real-Time Monitoring: The device continuously monitors the driver’s eye movements and head position using infrared (IR) sensors and accelerometers.
- Alert Mechanism: Upon detecting signs of drowsiness, such as prolonged eye closure or head nodding, the device triggers an alarm to alert the driver. The alarm includes audible signals, vibrations, or both.
- User-Friendly Design: The device is designed to be comfortable for long-term wear and does not interfere with the driver’s normal activities
- Low Power Consumption: The device is optimized for low power usage, ensuring extended operation without frequent recharging
