Ubiquitous Sensing For Smart Transport

A large number of accidents, whether severe or not, usually occur within a blink of an eye, and most these accidents are caused by using the phone while driving. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Some may say that their families may call for something urgent and they have to answer. Although it may be urgent but answering may put the driver in such a bad situation that he will not be able to help the person calling. Remember, a crash resulting from texting and driving can happen to

With new technology being introduced on almost a daily basis, it needs to be decided what ways are safe to use that technology. Advanced technology has created an abundance of things that can be used while driving. The most popular technology used while driving is the cell phone. Although it was invented in the 1970s, the cell phone did not gain momentum until the 2000s. Even during its first days, the effect of a cell phone distraction was already in the spotlight (Brown, Tickner & Simmonds, 1969). Allowing people to talk wherever and whenever, it became important to ensure this technology was not harming society. Driving is a complex cognitive task. Since its use boomed in the 21st century, several road problems and accidents were linked

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

The use of cars in the right state since the vehicles can accurately schedule repair and maintenance services from the data that is collected by the IoT. This offers general reduction in the accidents caused by the normal car failures. Small faults in vehicles are not easily detectible but with IoT technology in the vehicles the cars will always be in fault free condition (Umar et al., 2016).

First of all, we began with daily essential device, smartphone. It is an irrefutable fact that our versatile smart phone has the both advantages and disadvantages. We imagine ourselves using our phones on the street while walking, even when going across the pedestrian crossing. It is very perilous action and we know it, but we do it. We imagined of the picture that a person is going across the pedestrian crossing, then slowly, there would be an appearance of pool of blood at his underneath. In the end, he reaches at the edge of a cliff that if he makes forward a step, he will fall down. However, most importantly, he does not know his fatal situation as his two eyes are desperately staring at his phone screen. It was our first draft and we thought it is a common problem nowadays. This means everyone could understand the ad and it could function as a public service advertisement as we planned. But, in the end, we conclude that it is effective, yet,

According to Luke Ameen in his article “The 25 Scariest Texting and Driving Accident Statistics” on the website icebike.org, out of the 2.5 million car accidents that on average happen per year in the United States, 1.6 million accidents happen due to the involvement of a cell phone. (Ameen, 2017). This means that over 50% of car accidents are happening due to a driver using their cell phone while moving down the road also according to Luke Ameen (Ameen, 2017).

After analyzing how the brain and reaction time are severely effected by the distraction that cell phones cause, it is important to view the health effects that results from the car crashes. Injuries ranging from mild to severe, or even death, can occur as a direct result of crashing the vehicle while distracted by cell phone use. In the study by McEvoy, the objective was to explore the effect of drivers’ use of cell phones on road safety. In order to research

The deceleration of vehicle speed is demonstrated successfully with the embedded system. Along with this, android based notification system consisting of image and voice output worked efficiently during the testing of embedded system. This work in progress opens opportunities for additional analysis and implementations. The measuring characteristics of sensors are for low speed conditions. When applied in higher speed situations, high-end and enhanced senors with higher range can be implemented. The notification app developed is only for android platform, in future the application can be ported to other

To begin with, the use of mobile technology and portable communication devices while driving, as opposed to other causes of accidents, has contributed to the most fatalities among licensed adolescents and adults. If one is devoting all of his/her attention to an electronic device, he/she cannot be completely aware of the possible dangers of the area, for one’s line of vision and overall attention has been limited to a small screen. Also, a man fulfilling a task on his mobile telephone has thus restricted the total amount of control over his vehicle to only one hand, making it immensely difficult to manage his path of travel. When a driver is distracted, one might unnoticingly exceed the posted speed limits, run red lights and stop signs, or even collide with a pedestrian or other vehicle, labeling it the most frequent and fatal cause of traffic related casualties in the

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, eight people are killed each day in crashes involving distracted driving (Kelly, 1). This is an alarming stat that needs to be addressed immediately so this issue can be prevented allowing for better safety on the roads for drivers. In this day and age, technology has an exponentially greater impact on the daily lives of people in society as opposed to recent history, especially with millennials. Stats to the right show that 12% of teen crashes come from cell phone use distraction. From children to millennials to the older generations, phone use is almost depended on for everyday communication and staying abreast of news within their social circle and the globe.

1. The National Safety Council estimates that at least 1.6 million crashes each year involve drivers using cell phones and texting and drivers who use a cell phone – either handheld or hands-free – are four times more likely to be involved in a crash.

Over the past years, fatal car accidents have increased around the world. Most of them are caused by bad weather conditions, road rage, drunk driving, tailgating, and etcetera. However, the number one cause will always be distracted driving. Distracted driving consist of the drivers diverting his or her attention away from the road to text, call or eat food. In those seconds, a fatal car accident might have occurred. There are a lot of advocacy advertiser that wishes this type of behavior to stop. One of them is the Bangalore City Traffic Police in India. They delivered the “Distracted Driving” message to tell those who drives a vehicle, from all ages, that they should not talk and drive to avoid putting themselves

Users advance through the program by developing a new technology to stop people from texing while driving. Various types of car companies to promote this program to help drivers to stop text when driving. This program would be impossible without the aid of a computer. The program can operate automatically or manually operated. By the manually operated this program, programmer is able to turn off his/her friends or family member’s mobile phone and keep the mobile phone until parking by monitoring the engine switch. Aside from turning off mobile phone, someone like programmer or user is also able to help his/her customers, friends or family member tune the mobile phone into airplane mode and keep it until parking. On the other hand, user is able to install sensor in the car. When the car starts, the mobile phone automatically shuts down by a computer program; when parking, the phone automatically boots. Besides, in the field of view range,

One of the key stakeholder groups in businesses is the customer base. Companies are responsible for the safety and well-being of their customers when their product or service is in use. Therefore, customers heavily influence companies and their decision making processes. During the fourth year at K-Tai, it was evident that consumers faced an eminent danger with their smart phones. Individuals who use their smart phone while driving have been causing more accidents than ever because of the various distractions the phone offers. In order to prevent customers from continuously being put in harm’s way, the decision was made to advise K-Tai to initiate an industry wide standards body which focused on

The scope of this project is to develop a mobile app to help the common man to take safety and preventionery measures when an accident takes place. Accidents occur suddenly and unexpectedly. We cannot prevent the occurrence of accidents but we can create an app in favor of the victim. “Near Miss” is a mobile app which runs on all mobiles having a camera irrespective of the configuration.
