According to a WHO report, accidents cause over 3.5 million deaths annually, which is more than any other single cause of death. Accidents can occur in a variety of environments, but the home is the most common location. Home accidents are a major cause of injury and economic costs. In India, the leading causes of accidental death are road accidents (34.5%), poisoning (7.9%), and fire-related accidents (6.6%). Prevention strategies include implementing integrated road safety policies, forming independent road safety agencies, improving trauma care, and promoting safety awareness among policymakers and the public. Common sense measures like securing cleaning products, removing obstacles, and monitoring flames can help prevent many home accidents.

Adaptive and resource-efficient rural area networksVeljko Pejovic
Talk by Veljko Pejovic at the University of Cambridge Computer Lab, October 2013.
Abstract: Internet connectivity represents a key factor in the overall development of any nation. It enables competitive participation in the global economy, serves as a valuable source of education and facilitates democratisation of a society. Unfortunately, connectivity opportunities differ drastically among regions. Consequently, this difference, termed “the digital divide”, creates a gap in many aspects of human development: living standard, education, and health care, among others. The essence of the problem lies in a general lack of understanding of developing area dwellers’ needs, and in the design of information and communication technologies (ICTs) without consideration of peculiarities of these areas.
In this talk I will present a holistic approach that aims to improve local and global connectivity of rural, underdeveloped regions. First, we perform an in-depth analysis of the usage of existing technologies in one of the world’s most infrastructure-deprived regions – rural Africa. Our findings show that limitations of current technology severely inhibit higher usage and utility of ICTs in rural areas. We proceed with designing computer networking solutions for rural regions. To cover vast under-populated areas we propose long-range wireless networks based on newly-freed white space spectrum. We develop solutions to physical and MAC layer for white space communication geared towards optimal utilization of limited energy and spectrum resources, and support voice and video, applications that are of primary importance in areas with low population literacy. To avoid over-congested satellite links and reduce unnecessary communication delay we devise a suite of network traffic localization techniques that facilitate local content generation and sharing, enable free local cell phone communication, and improve online social networking in rural areas. We design our solutions after a careful investigation of issues that exist in rural regions and that are relevant to the target population. We strive to go beyond pilots, and, through collaborative work with local stakeholders and researchers, create solutions that will become integral parts of rural lifestyle.
Countermeasure Development :Radiation Protection for civic population and mil...Dmitri Popov
“Military doctrine supports an integrated management health care services and specialized system to evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, evacuation, and return the irradiated and injured civilians or military personnel, after major nuclear accident. The medical management system for irradiated civilians and military personnel begins on the irradiated battlefield or irradiated territory and ends in specialized hospitals located outside of battlefield. ”
AMBASSADOR STEVE MBUGUA ROAD SAFETY CULTURE CAMPAIGN.pdfAmb Steve Mbugua
A Road Safety Culture
For the last 8 years since 2015, I have been conducting annual Road Safety Campaigns in a mission to lower the traffic accidents statistics. The campaign dubbed #AmbSteveMbuguaRoadSafetyCampaign takes place at different parts of the country.
We have so far lost lives through road accidents in Kenya more than Tripple the number we have lost through Covid-19. Kenya loses on average 4900 lives every year through road traffic accidents. The high rate of road accidents in the world at large is highly worrisome. Many people lost their loved ones on road accidents while many others are injured or disabled. Based on the statistics given by WHO, nearly 1.3 million people die in road accidents each year and on average, 3,287 die daily. More so, 20 to 50 million people are injured or disabled due to road traffic accidents. It is also important to note that road traffic accidents have no respect for anyone or class of people; in other words, rich and poor, young and old etc. are dying in road accidents nearly every day, around the world. Furthermore, it is also known that road traffic accidents constitute the leading cause of death among the youths. For instance, almost 400,000 people under age 25 die in road accidents every year in the world and on average over 1,000 people die per day. The major reason for the high rate of deaths on the road is simply because many road users around the world have not seen road safety as an individual key responsibility. This explains why good road safety culture is almost non-existent in many societies particularly in Africa. Road safety is of prime importance as road accidents are among the biggest causes of deaths in the country. With the number of vehicles on our roads increasing with every passing hour, it’s of vital importance for everyone to have traffic awareness and understand and respect all the road safety rules in Kenya.
Road traffic safety refers to the methods and measures used to prevent road users from being killed or seriously injured. Typical road users include pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, vehicle passengers, skaters, horse riders, and passengers of on-road public transport.
The regular road users include: pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and passengers in public transport. In a simple language, everybody is a road user. Hence, road safety can be described as the methods and measures put in place in order to prevent all road users from being killed or seriously injured.
Traffic Safety Culture includes the values, beliefs, and attitudes that influence road user behaviors and stakeholder actions.
Road Accident Analysis and Prevention in Nigeria: Experimental and Numerical ...IJASRD Journal
This paper empirically analysed road accident and its prevention in Nigeria. Data for road traffic crashes trend was sourced from Federal Road Safety Corps in Nigeria from 1960 - 2017. The data was tested for stationarity using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, while the co-integration was conducted using Johansen’s methodology. Least Square estimate was employed for the empirical analysis. The results show that there is long run equilibrium relationship between total number of casualties, total number of fatal cases and total number of minor cases of accidents in Nigeria. The results show that there is positive and significant relationship between fatal cases, severe cases and total number of casualties, while minor cases have negative and significant relationship with total number of casualties. The study therefore recommends that government should invest massively in road transportation infrastructure in order to repair dilapidated roads, expand narrow roads and construct new ones. Government should legislate and enforce installation of speed limit devices for all vehicles operating on Nigerian roads to reduce reckless speeding on the highways which will definitely reduce total number of accidents and casualties on Nigerian roads.
A Mobile Based Application for Journey SafetyIOSRjournaljce
Journey is an inseparable part of human life which is responsible for human civilization development.Worldwide a large portion of population daily travel for work, shopping, social reasons and many other purposes. Nowadays road accidents, hijacking, robbery, snatching, trap of fraud parties have increased in such a level that people are always concerned about the security and safety of life as well as property during journey. In maximum cases vehicle drivers are found involved with these incidents and victims can’t complain to the related authority due to the lack of evidence.Also law enforcement agencies is unable to take proper action against these crimes due to the scarcity of adequate information. Women empowerment and their development is also lagging behind because of insecurity. In past few decades uses of mobile phones has increased enormously. Due to the rapid growth of mobile technology, smartphones are equipped with features likesensors, GPS navigation, digital camera, high speed internet connectivity and many more. Using these sophisticated features of smartphones, an application can be developed to overcome these problems of people and provide safety. Aim of this paper is to design a mobile application called ‘Journey Safety’ to overcome dangers mentioned above during journey and ensure complete safety.
Road Safety Foundation: Making Road Safety PayAgeas UK
Ageas takes its responsibilities seriously. Since 2012, we have sponsored the Road Safety Foundation’s EuroRAP report, an important piece of research that provides real insight into the safety of road infrastructure, showing just how critical road design and construction is for saving lives and preventing accidents.
We have also commissioned the Road Safety Foundation to produce Making Road Safety Pay, an analytical piece of research taking a comprehensive view of road safety. It provides innovative ideas covering not just road infrastructure, but also drivers and vehicles and aims to ensure road safety policy focuses on reducing the cost of road crashes to the economy, currently estimated at 2% of GDP (£34bn).

2. INTRODUCTION
According to a WHO report, the number of deaths caused
by accidents was estimated to be 3.5 million annually.
The figure corresponds to an average of 10,000 deaths
per day. Intentional and unintentional accidents are the
cause of 15% of years of life lost globally which is
greater than any other cause of death. Each year, tens
of thousands of accidents occur worldwide. Accidents
can take place in a wide variety of environments and
every sphere of human life. However, the home is the
most likely location. Home accidents are a major cause
of death and injury. They produce major costs in terms
of loss of life, pain & suffering as well as loss of
production & wages for the employed & injured.

4. Accidental deaths- Indian scenario
The following facts have emerged on percentage share of various causes of
accidental deaths during 2008:
Railroad & other railway accidents- 7.6%
Poisoning- 7.9%
Fire related accidents- 6.6%
Natural causes- 7%
Falls- 3.1%
Electrocution- 2.4%
Road accidents- 34.5%
5. Prevention and protection against Road accidents:
An integrated road safety policy need to be drafted with well defined
objectives vision, mission & objectives for both rural & urban transportation
needs.
Independent road safety agencies must be formed & empowered to
implement & monitor road safety measures and activities.
Laws pertaining to helmets, drink drive, speed measures, road & vehicle
measures, improving visibility, improve trauma care incase of accidents, mass
transportation system such as metro, rail, etc., needs to be implemented all
over the country.
Awareness & education on road safety literacy should be promoted among
policy makers, transport safety professionals, health & police officials of both
rural and urban areas.
6. Preventing accidents at home
The vast majority if accidents happen in the home.
Using common sense while cleaning organizing
your home can help to prevent many of these
accidents. Keep cleaning products in a secure area
away from heat and flame, & out of reach of
children. Remove common obstacles such as loose
wires & cables from walkways. Put away children’s
toys that are not in use to prevent tripping and
falling. Monitor any burning candles or incense.
Also, turn off & unplug any appliances not in use to
avoid fire hazards.
