Abstract: Hazardous driving behaviors including drowsiness and alcohol are still a significant problem in the field of transportation safety. In this paper, we discuss the application to build an intelligent driver safety system which includes real-time alcohol detection along with driver drowsiness detection through an embedded ESP32 based platform. A system based on continuous alcohol sensing and vision system to detect alcohol presence and the camera vision system recognizes unsafe actions completed by driver. In the event of impairment, the controller initiates warning alerts, decelerates the vehicle, and also initiates the emergency communication: these warning notifications are displayed according to the position of the vehicle and transmitted to an already set up recipient group. To ensure safety of a driver, it has been The system being proposed is cost-effective, secure and can be installed in today's cars. Another aspect of its modularity is its ability to facilitate further enhancements in future, such as intelligent analytics, remote monitoring to enhance road safety and driver protection, as well as connected transportation; all of which are possible through the modularity of the device.
