Abstract: Transportation plays a major role in today’s world. To move from one place to another place (long distances) which cannot be covered by walk, we use vehicles which consumes less time to reach destination. According to statistics, by 2050 the urban population will increase by 68% which leads to an increase in transportation that causes pollution and increase in the rate of road accidents. There are many methods and prevention measures to control pollution. The road accidents are caused due to distracted driving, high speed, drowsy driving and disobeying traffic rules. Among these, drowsy driving has been a cause for 20% of road accidents which is because of fatigue driving. In this article, a model is proposed based on image processing technique which is segmentation and a deep convolutional neural network architecture to improve the performance of the model when compared to the existing models. The proposed model works with better performance in different lighting conditions.
