Abstract

The present invention comprises a somnolence prevention and drowsiness detector device consisting of one or more pulse rate sensors that are attached to the operators' body of a motor vehicle. When the pulse rate sensors detect changes or a reduction in the heart pulse rate that is pre-determined according to a known measured standard pulse rate for an individual of the same approximate height and weight, an actuator component is activated by a central processing or computer unit which detects and analyzes when the heart rate falls within a range indicative of somnolence or sleepiness. The actuator component then produces a stimulation in the form of sound, vibration or mild electric shock that awakens the operator and makes him/her more cognizant of the moving environment which he/she is in thereby preventing accident or death.
