Haniny – AI Driver Assistant

Developed Haniny as a real-time perception and risk-scoring system under hackathon constraints. We treated it as a systems-integration challenge: camera ingestion, model inference, event scoring, and mobile feedback had to work as one low-latency loop.

Architecture

Built a dual-stream processing pipeline where interior (driver) and exterior (road) camera feeds are ingested via OpenCV, processed by deep learning models, and fused in a shared event bus. Results are transmitted to a mobile frontend (Flutter) using high-frequency WebSocket messaging.

Implementation

Architecture involves integrating YOLOv8 and MediaPipe for simultaneous processing, optimizing model weights for mobile-compatible inference speeds, and building a low-latency state synchronization layer between the backend and hybrid app.

Outcome

Provides a functional prototype for safety-critical driver assistance, focusing on tight model-to-product integration and multi-sensor data fusion.

What it does

  • Real-time Fatigue, Drowsiness, and Distraction monitoring via MediaPipe
  • Object detection for road hazards (Stop signs, Pedestrians, Potholes) using YOLOv8
  • Dynamic risk scoring algorithm based on fused behavioral telemetry
  • Automated emergency protocol routing for critical safety incidents
  • Optimized inference loop for low-latency (<300ms) mobile performance
