“Brainwave” Technology in EV 800-PROJECT BY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS

A team of young and enthusiastic engineering students – Jeffin Francis, Aby Biju N, Anupama Johnson, Jeswant Mathew, Alan Jones Ukken and  Jegil Jerson, of Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology, Kakkanad,  prepared a prototype of their idea. Under the guidance of their mentors Dr. John M George and Asst. Prof. Vishnu Sankar. They have integrated a remote control car drive where the user can park the car in tight spots using their smartphones using an app exclusively developed for the control. The team has developed a way to help drivers execute evasive manoeuvres faster and avoid accidents due to drowsy driving using brainwave technology. By recognizing whether a driver is about to brake, swerve, or perform some other evasive move, the team says that this “brain-to-vehicle” interface could help a car with semi-autonomous capabilities begin those actions between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds faster. The brain waves are constantly monitored using an EEG headset and process information to the computer in the car, if the driver is tired or sleepy the car will alarm and parks for him automatically.
