The main purpose of this paper is to urge the two wheeler motor cycle riders to wear a helmet. In India, most of the death cases occur due to the two wheeler accidents. In most of the cases, rider suffers head injuries, which leads to death. In order to reduce the number of accidents, this research work proposes a smart helmet, which will be very useful for the two-wheeler riders. In general, two-wheeler accidents occur due to the high consumption of alcohol by the rider. The proposed smart helmet ensures the safety of the rider, while driving on the road. The proposed model comprises of an alcohol detection, accident identification, location tracking, hands-free device, solar powered module and fall detection. The proposed smart helmet will be connected to the ignition. Henceforth, if the rider does not wear a helmet, the ignition will not be triggered to start the two-wheeler. For handling an emergency situation, GSM module is used to send an alert message to the registered mobile number.

Traffic lights play such important role in traffic management to control the traffic on the road. Situation at traffic light area is getting worse especially in the event of emergency cases. During traffic congestion, it is difficult for emergency vehicle to cross the road which involves many junctions. This situation leads to unsafe conditions which may cause accident. An Automatic Traffic Light Controller for Emergency Vehicle is designed and developed to help emergency vehicle crossing the road at traffic light junction during emergency situation. This project used Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) to program a priority-based traffic light controller for emergency vehicle. During emergency cases, emergency vehicle like ambulance can trigger the traffic light signal to change from red to green in order to make clearance for its path automatically. Using Radio Frequency (RF) the traffic light operation will turn back to normal when the ambulance finishes crossing the road. Result showed the design is capable to response within the range of 55 meters. This project was successfully designed, implemented and tested.

This research work develops a new algorithm i.e. Link distribution algorithm and efficient link distribution algorithm. A Link distribution algorithm is the distribution of the link to the nodes so that communication between the nodes takes place in case of any link failure whereas efficient link distribution algorithm is distribution of the packets to the nodes which has high transmission power. The technique used in Link distribution algorithm (LDA) is link establishment whenever there is any link failure happen we apply this concept which is LDA whereas the technique used in efficient link distribution algorithm (ELDA) is relay node selection the relay node is selected based upon the received signal strength ratio (RSSI) value and which node is having high RSSI value that node we allocate the link. The above algorithms can be applied wherever there is high congestion on the road due to the high congestion link failure will happen and due to the link failure emergency event occurs. Results of model achieved in a realistic state of affairs validate our theoretical deliberation and confirm the efficiency and the efficacy of our protocol by screening significant expansion in terms of busy ratio, collision rate, deviation, local density and transmission power compared to previous scheme ETSI DCC. The work has been successfully done with the help open source network simulator NS3.

An emergency road signing system is an important device to prevent road disasters, especially during jeopardize conditions. In this project, it is focused on the shallow depth of water from 10cm to 30cm that can slow down the vehicles or even causes the collision. Arduino UNO microcontroller is utilized to detect the waterlogged and shows the of water depth on the road sign to allow the drivers to make a decision ahead for passing through the waterlogged. Furthermore, ZigBee wireless module is used to interface the sensor and display to increase the movability of the display from the waterlogged location. The system is powered up by the PV panel to support green technology and protect the environment as well. From results, it is found that placing the three signboards before the waterlogged location is more effective for drivers to respond.

Intodays world, Mobile application plays a very important role to process any type of data in hand. The mobile application is mainly developed for the drivers to work in mobile devices and to run on tablets and smart phones. These applications are used for various purposes like web browsing, calendar, buying music, gaming, traveling, entertainment, social networking and productivity. The mobile applications differ from the integrated software systems found in Personal Computers by its isolated functionality. The motor Car belongs to the mechanical world, and the functionality is not aware by all the drivers, thus it becomes a difficult one to handle it. In the existing system, there is no diagnostic system launched in mobile application for the drivers to find the minor problems in each and every car. There is only a manual book given to the drivers for motorcar by the manufacturer to see how to start a car and the parts of the car are given in detail. There is nothingmentioned about the minor problems that happens in the motorcar and the solution to recover it.To overcome the problems faced by the Drivers on the road and to help them in emergency situation, a Self Detection and recovery system is proposed for the Drivers, especially for the Learning drivers to detect the minorproblems in the vehicles and also to recover from those problems by using this automized smart system. Through this smart mobile application, the driver can find solutions for all the minor problems faced in the motorcar. The driver will be aware of exact fault and the driver can take necessary action accordingly. The proposed system acts as a good driver friendly interface for any Driver to detect the minor problem easily by using the alert signals and also to recover from these problems easily by searching through the terms, which usually denote the type of the problem and it accordingly find out the solutions, which would be highly helpful to proceed without interruption. The proposed system a low cost application wherein the driver has to sign up and find the solutions to the problems. This mobile application is secured because only the authorized driver can login and see the solutions but not by anyone else. This application gives the correct and exact solution to all the minor problems encountered by the mobile driver.

This paper compares the user experiences (UXs) while riding a scooter on the road to watching a 360° immersive scooter ride video in a laboratory using a Head-mounted Display (HMD) projection system. The aim of this study is to determine whether watching through an HMD projection system produces similar feelings of attractiveness, practicality, and enjoyment for the riding experience as riding on a real scooter. The data were collected from an experiment involving a total of 59 individual scooter commuters. The participants were asked to watch a 360° immersive video and to complete a user experience questionnaire (UEQ). The results verified that a virtual reality (VR) service with an HMD and panoramic scooter riding video content may be used as an experience tool to create reality-like scooter riding experiences for the users. Furthermore, the important factors that influence a user’s continued usage of watching 360° immersive video services were found to be attractiveness and pragmatic quality. Based on these results, a number of suggestions are proposed for the design of related VR services to strengthen the advantages of 360° immersive video in simulated two-wheeler ride experiences and providing road safety education.

In this address I shall discuss head trauma from an angle which may be unusual for neuroscientists. Our preoccupations are diagnostic challenges and management problems, but that which we experience at the bedside is only a narrow segment of a continuum which started with trauma somewhere in a war, on the road, at home, on the football field, in the boxing ring, and in many other distinct locations. When our role is over, there are only three places where head trauma victims can be found; in cemeteries, where every year, 5,000 new graves are made to accommodate fatal head injuries in Canada; in chronic hospitals, which are already overloaded with victims of various insults to the brain, and, of course, within society, which accepts the fully recovered or tolerates the subtle and not so subtle consequences of so-called ‘minor’ head injuries.

The understanding of rider/vehicle interaction modalities remains an issue, specifically in the case of bend-taking. This difficulty results both from the lack of adequate instrumentation to conduct this type of study and from the variety of practices of this population of road users. Riders have numerous explanations of strategies for controlling their motorcycles when taking bends. The objective of this paper is to develop a data-driven methodology in order to identify typical riding behaviors in bends by using clustering methods. The real dataset used for the experiments is collected within the VIROLO++ collaborative project to improve the knowledge of actual PTW riding practices, especially during bend taking, by collecting real data on this riding situation, including data on PTW dynamics (velocity, normal acceleration, and jerk), position on the road (road curvature), and handlebar actions (handlebar steering angle). A detailed analysis of the results is provided for both the Anderson–Darling test and clustering steps. Moreover, the clustering results are compared with the subjective data of subjects to highlight and contextualize typical riding tendencies. Finally, we perform an in-depth analysis of the bend-taking practices of one subject to highlight the differences between different methods of controlling the motorcycle (steering handlebar vs. rider’s lean) using the rider action measurements made by pressure sensors.
