The article aims to predict a level of stress by assessing the individual's activities. This is done through the use of a sensor that is mounted on a glove. The motion sensor selected for this project was chosen as compared to a physiological signal, due to its low cost and the fact that it is least affected by environmental factors. The main cause of accidents nowadays is the increased level of stress on the crew members. The physiological signal measurements using the sensors are mandatory for measuring the stresses of the crew member. This paper presents the concept of predicting the stress level of the crew members based on heart beat rate and body temperature. This is achieved through the use of temperature sensor, IR sensor and heartbeat sensor, which is placed in the gloves worn by the crew members. The GSM module transmits the total readings to the mobile unit. The crew members 'self-reports are used as the basis for estimating the crew members' stress levels. Infrared sensor is used for accident prevention. If there is an irregular condition in the pilot's heartbeat the flight is switched to automatic mode. Then the person's current status is sent out using GSM. The readings of the sensors used above revealed that exact values could be obtained. This shows the need to include the temperature sensor, IR sensor, pulse sensor for tracking the stress level of the crew members.
