It is related to Road Safety Engineering, I choose a location and did the Accident analysis and the survey for the location and I have suggested some Mitigation measures for the improvement of the area.
Although the road transport sector is crucial for the overall development of a country, if it is not managed in an organized manner, it can have a negative impact. In Ethiopia, fatalities due to traffic accidents is very high compared to the SSA.
Data play a critical role in reducing road traffic accident by identifying the right causes. Ethiopia can use Transport Management System mobile application to empower citizens, acquire real-time data regarding misconduct of drives, overloading of taxis, and traffic accidents. This will help to design policies and strategies to tackle major causes of traffic accidents.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Distracted driving is a factor in many serious Alabama car accidents. Distracted drivers cause many needless injuries and deaths on our highways. At the Blackwell Law Firm, we have helped many Alabama families following a serious injury. We prepare our cases fully in order to obtain the maximum compensation for each individual client. Outside the courtroom, we believe in continuing to advocate for safer highways. We have written numerous articles discussing the types of distracted driving -- Cognitive, Manual and Visual. In our articles we also discuss many ways to reduce this deadly driving danger. You can find these articles on our law firm blog by clicking the link to our website at the end of this slide presentation. We welcome comments and questions.

Road safety in India: Challenges and opportunities (2009)Rohit Sharma
The present report was designed to analyze the traffic safety situation in India, and to identify countermeasures for areas in which the total harm caused by crashes can be substantially and readily reduced. The report focuses on two aspects of traffic safety in India: challenges and opportunities. The first part of the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current traffic safety situation in India. It is pointed out in this analysis that fatality rates have increased both on highways and in urban areas during the past few years. Theoretical models suggest that the number of fatalities in India is not likely to start to decline for many years to come unless new policies are implemented. Based on the present analysis, the following six areas are identified as having potential for substantially reducing fatalities in India: (1) pedestrians and other non-motorists in urban areas, (2) pedestrians, other non-motorists, and slow vehicles on highways, (3) motorcycles and small cars in urban areas, (4) over-involvement of trucks
and buses, (5) nighttime driving, and (6) wrong-way drivers on divided highways. The second part of the report outlines several promising countermeasures for each of these
six areas. The third part of the report presents a brief comparison of major traffic safety challenges in India and China.

Taking into consideration the drivers’ state might be a serious challenge for designing new advanced driver
assistance systems. During this paper we present a driver assistance system strongly coupled to the user. Driver
Assistance by Augmented Reality for Intelligent Automotive is an augmented reality interface informed by a several
sensors. Communicating the presence of pedestrians or bicyclists to vehicle drivers may end up in safer interactions
with these vulnerable road users. Advanced knowledge about the presence of these users on the roadway is
particularly important when their presence isn't expected or when these users are out of range of the advanced safety
systems that are becoming a daily feature in vehicles today. For example, having advanced knowledge of a pedestrian
walking along a rural roadway is important to increasing driver awareness through in-vehicle warning messages that
provide an augmented version of the roadway ahead. Voice recognition system through an android platform adds
some good flavour during this project. The strategy of voice recognition through this platform is achieved by
converting the input voice signal into text of string and subsequently it's transmitted to embedded system which
contains an arduino atmega328 microcontroller through Bluetooth as a technique of serial communication between an
android application and a control system. The received text string on an arduino is also displayed on the AR Glass. As
connected vehicles start to enter the market, it's conceivable that when the vehicle sensors detect a pedestrian on a
rural roadway, the pedestrian presence is also communicated to vehicles upstream of the pedestrian location that
haven't reached the destination. This paper presents a survey of studies related to perception and cognitive attention
of drivers when this information is presented on Augmented Reality
ELS is the first year hardware group project. This aims at improving safety on highways by enforcing law, driver assisting, geo tracking and automatic responding in case of emergency.
Fighting Accident Using Eye Detection forSmartphonesIJERA Editor
This paper is an attempt to investigate an important problem and approaches of human eye detection, blinking, and tracking. A new system was proposed and implemented using android technology for smartphones. System creatively reduces accidents due to drivers’ fatigue by focusing on treating the driver after fatigue has been detected to achieve decrease in accident likelihood.
Smartphone's have been the important tools in our society for the abundant functions including communication, entertainment and online office etc. as the pivotal devices of mobile computing. Smartphone development has also become more important than before. Android is one of the emerging leading operating systems for smartphones as an open source system platform. Many smartphones have adopted this platform and more smartphones will do so in the future. The proposed system is well-suited for real world driving conditions since it can be non-intrusive by using video cameras to detect changes. Driver operation and vehicle behavior can be implemented by equipping automobiles with the ability to monitoring the response of the driver. This involves periodically requesting the driver to send a response to the system to indicate alertness. The propose system based on eyes closer count & yawning count of the driver. By monitoring the eyes and face, it is believed that the symptoms of driver fatigue can be detected early enough to avoid a car accident and providing the driver with a warning if the driver takes his or her eye off the road.
Motorist Understanding of Pavement Centre Lines and their Effect on Driving B...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Human factors and more generally driver errors account for the largest number of road accidents. Driver errors are external human factors that can contribute to specific error types selected from slip, lapse, mistake and violation. Action and information retrieval errors are both examples of driver errors. The failure to interpret correctly an intended road marking’s message causes driver misunderstanding and lead to a driver error. Centre lines are examples of such markings and if misread or unrecognised may cause unintentional driver violations and unsafe driving. This study focused on the examining of driver understanding of road markings, and the influence of centre lines on their driving behaviour. This study determined that drivers had a much better understanding of the overtaking messages intended by road markings, than the directional flow message. Drivers demonstrated that they relied more on signs and other drivers to determine whether the road is a two-way or not. This study demonstrated that the presence of both centre lines and edge lines have a positive effect on a driver in handling and controlling of their vehicles’ position. It was postulated from this study that the absence of the edge lines has a more significant effect on a vehicle’s position than the absence of centre lines.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

15. 5- Recommendations and Action Plans
• Collecting data to assess the magnitude of the problem.
• Adopting and enforcing legislations (Appendix )
relating to mobile phone use.
• Public awareness campaigns to emphasize the risk of
the behavior.(Societal Perception )
• Technological solutions, for example, applications that
detect when the phone is in a moving car and direct in-
coming calls to a voice messaging service.(Industry)
• Company policies that regulate employees’ use of
mobile phones while driving.
8/17/2013 - 15
17. Suggested Solutions
• Road design Solutions :
• 1-Warning features that alert the driver to sudden lane departures
• Technological Solutions :
• 1-Technologies that use vehicle sensors to estimate driver workload and
divert mobile phones calls.
• 2-Drivers can help avoid this by informing frequent callers that they will
not participate in phone conversations while driving ( automatic message
send to caller while driving – driving MODE)
• 3-Wireless and voice recognition communications technologies in vehicles
• Enforcement Solutions :
• 1-That consistent enforcement of laws is the single most important
effective strategy in changing behavior. Therefore, prevention strategies
that may show the most promise are legislative and corporate
policies, coupled with high-visibility enforcement and strict consequences.

22. How does it Work ?
Once installed on an Android phone, Drive Save
Mode continuously runs in the background as a
service and recognizes when the phone travels
faster than 10 mph using the Location Services
setting. As the car’s speed is detected, the
application automatically activates and freezes all
services on the phone, rendering it useless for
calling, texting, and surfing the web. Even if a
teen closes the app, it still prevents all use of the
device. And, if a teen tries to uninstall the
application, parents are automatically notified via
email.(GPS technology)
