Drowsy driving accounts for ~20% road accidents in Canada. Road Buddy is an application that helps prevent drowsy driving accidents. It is developed for WearOS using Android Studio and Kotlin.
- It was our first time to use Android studio, Kotlin and develop Android Wear OS. We needed to learn many new technologies and how to work with WearOS API. - The drop in heart rate can be caused by factors other than drowsy driving. To address this, we could record the users' other relevant health information to provide an accurate prediction of when they are sleeping.
- We can add voice alert to wake driver more effectively.
- The app can also use Google Maps API to send vibrations and alerts to drivers when they exceed the speed limits in areas with high accident rates or child protection zones.
- Also, we can use Google Maps API to send notices about the closest resting stop when the driver is feeling drowsy.
- In the future, this app can connect with the car system so autonomous driving mode will take over when the driver falls asleep.
