SmartAI Drive Safety Tool for Real-Time Drug-Use Detection

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This project develops a real-time mobile app that uses cloud-based AI to assess whether a driver may be under the influence, helping promote safer driving. It analyzes facial and body pose features with a transformer-based framework and provides immediate feedback on fitness to drive. The system also connects with school or college administration and, when appropriate, authorities, to support safety decisions. The app is designed to be scalable and accessible across devices, aiming to reduce drug-influenced driving incidents among youth-transport workers.
