This paper describes how to overcome accidents at Ghat roads. In the developing countries accident is the major cause of death. If we look at the top 10 dangerous roads in the world we can see that all of them are mountain roads and curve roads. In the mountain roads there will be tight curves and the roads will be narrow. In these kinds of situations the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicles coming from opposite side. Thousands of people lose their lives each year because of this problem. The solution to this problem is developing the Aurdino based project to provide safe and secure journey while travelling to the Ghat roads, Hill Stations, etc. It is provided by alerting the driver about the vehicle coming from opposite side. This is done by keeping a sensor in one side of the road before the curve and keeping a LED light after the curve, so that if vehicle comes from one end of the curve sensor senses and LED light glows at the opposite side. By looking at the LED light on/off criteria driver can become alert and can slow down the speed of the vehicle.

In the developing countries accident is the major cause of death. The top 10 dangerous roads in the world are mountain roads and curve roads. In the mountain roads there will be tight curves and the roads will be narrow. In these kinds of situations the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicles coming from opposite side. Thousands of people lose their lives each year because of this problem. The mountain roads might lead to a cliff. The solution for this problem is alerting the driver about the vehicle coming from opposite side in the hair-pin bends. That can be performed by placing the ultrasonic sensor on the road in one side before the road curve and then will keep the LED light after that curve, thus the vehicle which comes from the one end of the curve, the sensors which is present in that curve will sense and makes the LED light glows along with that buzzer sound and also vehicle speed is displayed at the opposite side. By looking at the LED light on signal driver can become alert and can slow down the speed of the vehicle. Thus it saves more lives.

Transport Accidents

As the number of vehicles increases, the number of transport accidents in developing countries increases. Accidents are the second cause of death in Ghana after malaria. Pedestrian accidents remain the main problem in Ghana, as they represent the largest percentage of deaths in traffic accidents. The death rate among pedestrians was 3 times higher than among vehicle users. Insufficient lighting of roads and lack of infrastructure for pedestrians are the cause of an increased number of fatalities among pedestrians. Increasing the visibility of pedestrians on the road and increasing the emphasis on education in the field of road safety could reduce the number of road accidents involving pedestrians.

AbstractSepsis, or dysregulated host response to infection, is considered a worldwide public health problem. It is a major childhood disease both in terms of frequency and severity, and severe sepsis is still considered the main cause of death from infection in childhood. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology of pediatric septic shock. The prevalence of severe sepsis and septic shock among hospitalized children ranges from 1 to 26%. Mortality is high, ranging from 5% in developed countries to up to 35% in developing countries. However, 10 years after the publication of pediatric sepsis definitions, a global perspective on the burden of this disease in childhood is still missing. Major obstacles to a better knowledge of sepsis epidemiology in children are the absence of an adequate disease definition and not having sepsis as a cause of death in the World Health Organization Global Burden of Disease Report, which is one of the most important sources of information for health policies decision-making in the world. Several studies performed in both developed and developing countries have shown that mortality from septic shock is high and is associated with delayed diagnosis, late treatment, and nonadherence to the treatment guidelines. Reducing mortality from sepsis in childhood is a worldwide challenge, especially in developing countries, where the highest number of cases and deaths are recorded and where financial resources are scarce. Many specialists consider that prevention, education, and organization are key to achieve a reduction in the burden of sepsis.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious diseases, as well as a major cause of death both in developed and developing countries, and it remains a challenge for physicians around the world. Several guidelines have been published to guide clinicians in how to diagnose and take care of patients with CAP. However, there are still many areas of debate and uncertainty where research is needed to advance patient care and improve clinical outcomes. In this review we highlight current hot topics in CAP and present updated evidence around these areas of controversy.

There are to two groups of turbo roundabouts used currently in Poland. The first group is turbo roundabouts with geometry and traffic organization designed following the model of Dutch turbo roundabouts with raised lane dividers. The other group is turbo roundabouts with traffic organization which entirely or partly corresponds to traffic organization of conventional turbo roundabouts, but with lane dividers not present, with their function performed by a single continuous line of P-2 type. Turbo roundabouts in the world are considered as solutions which are characterized by a high level of road safety and allow for effective flow at substantial traffic intensities. The data about turbo roundabouts in Poland analysed by the author show that there are substantially more turbo roundabouts without raised lane dividers. The paper attempts to answer to the question of whether turbo roundabouts with lane dividers in the form of a single continuous line ensure the appropriate level of road safety. Furthermore, the comparison of the level of road safety in turbo roundabouts equipped in raised lane dividers with turbo roundabouts with lane separators in the form of continuous line revealed that turbo roundabouts with raised lane dividers are safer solutions than turbo roundabouts with traffic lane dividers in the form of continuous line.

Accident Detection

In the developing countries accident is the major cause of death. “Speed Kills”, but still people don’t care enough to act safe while driving on road. Road traffic accidents and deaths caused by them are most critical issues now days. It is also impacting the country’s economy. According to Million Death Study (MDS) about 2.3 million people die in India per year. In that 137 thousand is because of road accidents. That is about 377 people per day. In that 3.7% because of failed to look the road. We can see that many of them are curve roads. In the mountain roads there will be tight curves and the roads will be narrow. In these kinds of situations the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicles coming from opposite side on the roads. Thousands of people lose their lives each year because of this problem. Since we are talking about mountain roads here other side might lead to a cliff and heavy bends. The solution for this problem is alerting the driver about the vehicles coming from opposite side in Ghats sections. This is done by keeping an ULTRASONIC SENSOR on one side of the road before the curve and keeping a LED light after the curve, so that if a vehicle comes from one end of the curve, sensor senses and LED light glows at the opposite side. By looking at the LED light on/off criteria driver can be alert and can slow down the speed of the vehicle.

Within the Developing countries accident is that the main reason for death. If we watch top 10 countries within the globe all of them are mountain road and curve roads. Within the mountain there’ll be tight curves and narrow roads due to this visibility is blocked .In these reasonably situation the motive force of vehicle cannot see vehicle coming from opposite side. The developing countries need to adopt the model followed by developing countries like Netherland & Denmark where roads are built in line with their function .in developing countries buses and trucks are more involved in accidents because of lack of proper safety standards. Thousands of individuals lost their lives due to this problem. . utilization of day time light, high mounted stop lamps, reflectors, colorful clothing has decreased the incidence of crashes due to poor visibility. The answer of this problem is alerting the motive force about the vehicle coming from opposite side. This is often done by keeping the ultrasonic sensor in one side of the road before the curve and keeping a LED light after the curve ,so that vehicle comes from one side of curve a senses and LED light glow at opposite side. By viewing the LED light on /off criteria the motive force can become alert and may hamper the speed of vehicle.
