Automotive Applications For Noise Vibration And Vibration

In the 20 year period between 1992 and 2011 there was an average of 4,500 collisions involving ambulances each year (NHTSA). Nearly half of these collisions occurred while ambulances where operating lights and sirens, despite the fact that lights and sirens are used during far less than half of ambulance driving operations. The number of ambulance collisions needs to be reduced on a national scale.

Eighteen wheelers are a vital part of interstate commerce in our country. The big rigs carry products across state lines, and keep our stores’ shelves stocked with the things we need on a daily basis. But, when a trucker is involved in an accident, the injuries are usually catastrophic. The sheer weight of a truck is such that when it collides with a car, the results are severe. Drivers and passengers in cars can suffer broken bones, internal organ damage, spinal and brain cord injuries, or even death. Staying safe around big rigs requires drivers to pay extra special attention when near a truck, and to keep a safe distance. But, drivers can only do so much; it also takes diligence on the part of the trucker in order to safely share the road.

“Some of the alerts are contextual-based, i.e., sirens when in the home or office are ignored but not in the car,” said File in an interview with The Dodo.

Turn down the radio: One of the easiest ways to avoid collision repair altogether is to switch off your radio while operating your vehicle. Not only is music and talk radio disruptive, but it requires a significant amount of your attention, which you should be dedicating to driving.

Drivers who are aware of the abusive cameras are constantly caught up trying to avoid getting an outrageous ticket; therefore, in attempt to avoid them, drivers are unexpectedly and furiously coming to abrupt stops. In result of the urgent and sudden stop of driver A (the first one to cross the intersection), braking quickly doesn’t give driver B neither enough time or physical room to move out of the way, consequently resulting in a rear-end collision, sometimes involving more than just two drivers. The driver’s panic to evade the ticket ends up caught up in the misfortunes of an even sadder circumstance. Leading reasons for this is thanks to the intentional decrease of yellow-light length times. Studies have shown that since the installment of the cameras there has been intentional scheming to cut the period of yellow light to catch as many victims as possible. It has been verified that increasing yellow-lights to at least one second more would decrease the number of accidents by over 45%. (Maass). An extra reason for which there is

In this article, Peters and Peters discuses about the risk of multitasking while driving. Not only they propose a problem, but also tries to give the reader an alternative ways of preventing the cause of an accident. He gives us three-risk factors that can reduce the chances of getting into an accident. They suggest having a printed and audible warning to warn the drivers not to use the device unless the vehicle is not moving, an integrated system “which all device are either shut off or out of driver’s sight when the vehicle is in motion” and finally, “ marketing and dealer restraint”. If these warnings are available in the vehicle, there should be a less chance to be distracted and cause an accident and also, this can be useful thing to create in the vehicle to remind the driver not to multitask while

Distracted driving is an issue everywhere. The number one form of distracted driving is using a phone, and it is becoming more of an issue everyday. According to an article “driver distractions” 80% of crashes and 65% of near crashes involve some form of driver distraction that occurred three seconds before the vehicle crash. The main causes that lead to the crashes are reaching for moving objects inside the vehicle, looking at an object or event outside the vehicle, reading, or cell phone use. Cell phone use is the number one reason for distracted driver crashes so, it is the topic that will be covered.

You hear sirens whale as you drive along the highway you pull over to let the emergency vehicle pass and maybe say a quick pray. The truth is it is common and depending on where you live you are likely to see a car crash almost every day. In Kansas alone a car crash happens every 8.4 minutes. Yet even with all the car crashes we see we still do not think it could happen to use. “Every year, about 421,000 people are injured in crashes that have involved a driver who was distracted in some way.” http://distracteddriveraccidents.com/25-shocking-distracted

Now-a-days driver drowsiness is one of the major causes for many motor vehicle catastrophes and it can impair the human brain as much as an alcohol or drugs can. It can be due to fatigue, lack of sleep, driving for a long time, circadian low rhythm and use of medication. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 1.5 million people die per year and over 40 million people have severe injuries. From the statistics, we can conclude that there is an urge for developing a system that can detect drowsiness and alert the driver before any hazard happens.

In today’s world, many drivers have become complacent in the fact that the vehicle in which they are operating can be a deadly weapon. A two-ton hunk of metal flying down the freeway at speeds excess of seventy miles an hour carries much potential for catastrophe.

Knight rode in a Cadillac DTS at the General Motors research center to get a true and up close view of how communicating cars will provide a safer ride and reduce accidents. Knight describes an experience where when he was riding the DTS and arrived at a blind intersection, the seats started to vibrate, he could hear a beeping and lights were flashing on the dash to indicate a car was approaching the intersection from another direction. The driver

Let’s begin with what we know. When an emergency vehicle responds to an emergency incident, the first responders, i.e., police, fire, and emergency medical services, want to get there as fast and as safely as possible. The current “Emergency vehicle traffic signal preemption system” or EVP will help to get them to the emergency, but it has its limitations, i.e., line of sight distance of approximately 2,500 feet (Priority Green) and non-emergency vehicle drivers are inattentive. (US Fire Administration (FEMA)) In 2015, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported there were 55 crashes across the United States involving emergency vehicles (Figure 2).

It must be noted that cars are dangerous vehicles which can cause fatal damage. Individuals responsible for a vehicle are expected to be more alert than pedestrians walking down the street or crossing the road, this is known as “destructive disparity”. This

When paired with police lights, police sirens create a tactical duo that is designed to alert those in the surrounding area with notice of a potentially dangerous situation. Usually, members of the community will hear police sirens seconds or even minutes before they see a racing police car fly by with emergency lights activated. For this reason, police sirens are critical equipment that should be included in every traditional police cruiser and undercover police vehicle too.

Abstract— The Ubiquitous systems are very popular in the young groups of people and this group of the population is the leading one in road crashes all over the world. The correct application for smartphones, which can provide instant information about accidents such as location, time, a number of injured people, etc. to emergency services, with a good advertisement, can change this statistic. Today people are often distracted from their surroundings and pay less attention to each other. An innovative solution for this problem may be a developing of an Accident detection System using an android smartphone. It is, basically, the application running on the android phone that continuously reads the data from the sensors and process this data to detect a crash according to the changes in accelerometer and gyroscope readings. If the observed parameters are amount of the limits then the application detects this as a crash and the
