ABSTRACT: This abstract aims at giving an overview of implementing safety and security services in vehicular systems of today and future development. In today's emerging world, technologies are booming at every place to nourish our humanity. There has been enormous advancement in automobile technologies over past and still to come. However accidents are still happening around us. Due to lack of traffic control facilities, violation of rules and carelessness while driving has led to increased fatal rates. The paper aims at providing

Due to this rapid increase of vehicles on roads, the probability of accidents is rising steeply. Majority of the accidents caused today due to the driver drowsiness , about 40% of the accidents occurred due to drunken driving which is becoming a major cause of accidents on Indian roads. Due to this there is a need of an effective system which stops the drivers with drowsiness, alcohol and pot holes to get on the roads and also to alert the drivers when they are near accident prone sites. A security system is essential as the number of theft increases every …show more content…
SAFETY SYSTEMS
2.1 Driver Drowsiness Detection System The innovations in the automobile industry over the last hundred years have made our vehicles more powerful, easier to drive and control safer more energy efficient, and more environmentally friendly. Majority of the accidents caused today by cars are mainly due to the driver fatigue. Driving for a long period of time causes excessive fatigue and tiredness which in turn makes the driver sleepy or loose awareness.
Driver Drowsiness is a huge traffic safety problem and is widely believed to be one of the largest contributors to fatalities and severe injuries in traffic today, either as a direct cause of falling asleep at the wheel or as a contributing factor in lowering the attention and reaction time of a driver in critical situations. Accidents with commercial heavy vehicles are not only dangerous but also very costly and the counteraction of driver Drowsiness is highly important for improvement of road safety.
The main focus in the Driver Drowsiness has been to define a fatigue risk management (FRM) program for commercial road transports. Specific efforts have been put in developing concepts for scheduling, driver coaching and back-office tools as well as potential improvements and new solutions for a detection and warning
Multiple drivers surviving a serious car crash generally require some form of occupational therapy for recovery. The Occupational Therapist, conducts comprehensive driving evaluations by developing plans for the individual to continue driving, or assist the person in transitioning from driver to passenger. These decisions are based upon clinical assessments of the individual’s vision, cognition, motor performance, reaction time, and knowledge of traffic rules, as well as provide a behind-the wheel assessment of one’s driving skills. The mission of an Occupational Therapist is to “provide individuals with disabilities solutions for living a normal productive life of independence, and functional
Defensive driving utilizes safe driving techniques to drive in such a way to identify and anticipate dangerous scenarios in a predictable manner. This practice will help reduce the risk of crashes by anticipating possible collisions and avoiding potential hazards more easily. The big factor in every distracted driving accident is paying attention to something other than driving. The first step to defensive driving is making sure you are concentrated on the road, free from any tasks or distractions that will keep you from focusing on your surroundings.
It's no secret that driving under the influence of alcohol is dangerous. Every year, thousands of people are killed, and even more are injured by people who've had too much too drink and get behind the wheel. A recent study by AAA reveals that drivers lacking sleep are as dangerous as drunk drivers. While many people pride themselves on being able to function on less than the recommended 7 hours of sleep per night, they're posing a significant danger to themselves and others when they are sleep deprived. One segment of the population, long-haul truck drivers, are considered at risk for this behavior, due to their extreme schedules and tight deadlines.
In a world where transportation is a must, it is essential that drivers know how to drive tactfully and safely. Learning how to be attentive and aware of your surroundings and actions is an extremely important skill to obtain when getting behind the wheel. There are bountiful ways to ensure safety on the roads which include defensive driving and not operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. These techniques are guaranteed to ensure safe conduct on the road and can save lives, whether it be your own or others. Defensive driving refers to the process of learning how to anticipate problems before they happen.
To prevent the danger of tired driving, drivers should get the sleep needed at night. Some people only sleep for six hours which is not enough, even for a grown adult. Studies have shown that a healthy adult requires seven to nine hours of sleep every day. People underestimate the dangers of fatigued driving, so a solution to this is that the government could address this dangerous activity to the public by educating them by using advertisements, or even a catchy billboard to remind drivers not to drive while tired. This could lessen many injuries and even deaths as people would not be falling asleep while driving so they would not
It is so essential that people are completely focused on the road while driving and are never under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Careless driving, different from other mistakes, affects both the driver and everyone else in the area. In a world where electronics are always present, it is increasingly essential that drivers remain focused solely on the road in an effort to avoid injury to themselves or anybody
In a 2007 study " of 895 hospital staff nurses, 596 (66.6%) reported having driven while drowsy at least once during the 28-day study period, and 30 (3.4%) said they drove while drowsy following every shift they worked" (Eanes,
“Slow response time, loss of clarity in vision and hearing, loss of muscle strength and flexibility, drowsiness due to medications, and a reduction in the ability to focus or concentrate” are all effects of aging identified in Westport News’s March 2010 article “Should elderly drivers be retested?” 2. Although some older drivers try to make up for these disabilities by driving more cautious, driving below the speed limit can cause more dangers. B. Cause 2: The trend of increases in fatal accidents involving elderly people is partially due to an increased susceptibility to injury and medical complications within this age group. Transition 3: While car accidents involving the elderly is a widespread issue, there are multiple solutions that can be implemented to reduce the likelihood of this occurring.

In this article topics like “Building the Foundation for the Smart Driver Transformation” and “Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Model Deployment” are very important when it comes to making the change from smart drives to smart cars. The article also talks about the amount of safety nets that have to be but in place to make sure that the cars can communicate with the sensors they have to communicate with. Kirkpatrick, K. (2015). The moral challenges of driverless cars.
One of the greatest death causes while driving for many years was because of individuals driving under the influence of alcohol. However, alcohol is no longer the only reason why so many deaths are being caused out in the streets while driving. Society is so consumed by this one thing that even while driving it cannot wait. Those who are driving do not understand the danger they put themselves and others in when they give their attention away from the road and everything around them. This small device in the hands of people while driving has caused many deaths in our world.
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication will transform driving as we know it. It will assist in preventing accidents, reducing traffic, and getting the passenger(s) to where they need to be on time. Autonomous cars will be the future of driving. One of, if not, the most common inquiry people make about autonomous cars is, “how safe are they?”
The technology that we have today is unbelievable compared to what the companies had when we first started to make cars. We all know that our future is getting more and more advanced, and we will possibly have these self driving cars within the next ten years. Overall, we need to prepare ourselves for the next generation of cars. This research paper is written to explain safety, pollution, and time that will be saved with the use of self driving cars.
While self-driving vehicles will provide a new form of technology in the future, they will affect our society by being an emerging technology that is innovative, dangerous, and unreliable. Self-driving cars are a new form of emerging technology. An article that was recently published discussed the positive and negative effects of self-driving buses which led to research on self-driving cars. The emerging technology of driverless vehicles was introduced on public roadways. Crelin stated that “Long predicted to be an impending and emerging technology, driverless vehicles developed slowly over the course of the twentieth century but emerged fully into public view in the first decades of the twenty-first” (1).
Vehicle-related injuries may occur where they lose control of the vehicle or collide with another car(accident).Commercial truck drivers are an integral part of the African economy. Without truckers, few of us would be able to enjoy the access to the wide variety of groceries and consumer goods that we currently take for granted. Truck drivers regularly make a number of sacrifices in order to keep our economy moving. It is not rare for truckers to spend days at a time away from their friends and family. In addition, the nature of their job regularly subjects them to the risk of serious injury.
A man named Henry Paul was driving more than 80 mph while impaired by alcohol, lost control of his car in a tunnel that caused the death of himself, Princess Diana and her boyfriend Fayed (Dickey, Christopher, and Mark Hosenball 54). Drivers should never be able to be on the road while intoxicated. After parties, a trusted friend needs to make sure that the drinker gets home safe, without driving drunk. If all traffic enforcement officers used passive sensors, over 700,000 drunk drivers could
