Driver monitoring solution on Altera Cyclone V SoC

ADAS technology is a driver safety system which can detect surroundings and alert harmful conditions like Driver drowsiness detection, Driver distraction detection, Pedestrian detection, Lane departure detection, Collision detection and Traffic sign recognition. Altera’s SoC integrates an ARM-based hard processor system (HPS) consisting of a multi-core ARM processor, peripherals, and memory controllers with the FPGA fabric.

This case study details the below mentioned ADAS applications and their implementation on Altera Cyclone V SoC FPGA:

• Driver Drowsiness Detection monitors driver fatigue, warns driver when potential drowsiness is detected.
• Driver Distraction Detection monitors driver attentiveness, warns when driver is not paying attention to the road ahead.
