Traffic accidents caused by human factors, particularly drivers, are a serious and growing issue. This research aims to analyze the need for a Driver Monitoring System (DMS) as a solution to reduce traffic accident risks in Mendalo Darat Village, specifically among Maxim drivers. The research methodology involves surveys, structured interviews with Maxim drivers, and statistical analysis of traffic accident data in the area. Findings indicate that drivers often experience fatigue, concentration issues, and lack awareness of their physical condition while driving. The proposed DMS will be designed to detect signs of driver fatigue and distraction, providing early warnings to mitigate accident risks. This study is expected to contribute to enhancing traffic safety and driver welfare in Mendalo Darat Village.
