Drive awake
First Claim
1. From my observation of many vehicle drivers, I have discovered that it is a common characteristic for every driver while driving a motor vehicle to regularly move the steering wheel ever so little either to the left or the right within every seven second or less time period regardless of road conditions. By monitoring these motions and the absence of them, it can be determined whether the driver is awake or asleep at the wheel.

Abstract
DRIVE AWAKE is a motor vehicle safety system that will create an alarm should the driver fail to adjust the steering wheel to the needs of the moving vehicle. This is possible by my recent discovery by observation of the almost continuous mini movements of the steering wheel by the driver of a moving vehicle. These regular movements or the absence of them can be electronically detected and trigger an alert alarm to the driver when needed.
