The R&D Ecosystem can be divided into four major aspects i.e. academic research, car manufacturers, government authorities, and end users. Each aspect is discussed in detail that we hope may help in successful implementation of VANET.

Global NCAP highlights pedestrian safety at the UNGlobal NCAP
The potential of crash avoidance systems to reduce pedestrian deaths has been highlighted by Global NCAP at the United Nations in New York. Speaking to the UN Road safety Collaboration, Global NCAP’s Secretary General, David Ward said that emergency braking systems combined with softer car fronts can reverse the rise in pedestrian fatalities.

The number of registered vehicles continues to grow every year and so is the number of road accidents. Rapid motorization in Malaysia has shown the growth of registered vehicles at 7.52% per annum as compared to 2.45% population growth between 1995 and 2010. During the same period, the growth of road accident has been increasing at the rate of 6.44% per annum, much higher than the population growth, from 8.09 in 1995 to 14.33 accidents per 1000 population in 2010. This dramatic increase raised a great concern both in government and the general public. Many efforts have been carried out in the past but were not well coordinated. A well coordinated effort was started from 2003, leading to the setting up of the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research in 2007, Friend of Road Safety in 2008 and Attitude Operation in 2007, in the meantime strengthening the role of Road Safety Board and the Department of Road Safety. Private companies, especially those directly related with road traffic such as oil, insurance and car manufacturing companies have also increasing their roles in road safety issues through the Department of Road Safety. These corporate contributions ranging from giving away safety helmet, child safety booster seats and road safety training for school children to providing free car safety inspection. The efforts have been fruitful. Although the number of accidents is still increasing, the number of casualty has been decreasing more than 50%, to 0.98 persons per 1000 populations within 10 years.

Car-pedestrian accidents account for a considerable number of automobile accidents in industrialized countries. Head injury continues to be more concerned in Automobile impacts.
Because the head is the most seriously injured part in many collisions including in pedestrian automobile collisions. Head injuries are the most common cause of pedestrian deaths in car to pedestrian collisions.
Conceptual design of a bus emergency exit rampmaputi
Abstract: Bus mass transport vehicles are designed to ferry passengers along routes in cities and between cities. Advancement of technology in the 21st century has resulted in various designs of buses. Innovation in bus design has been centered on lightweight materials, formability and aesthetic appeal of the bus interior and exterior. Meanwhile the bus structure has not developed in terms of emergency exit tools to aid quick passenger egress in the case of emergency. This paper focuses on the design on a bus emergency exit tool. This tool will be applicable at designated emergency exit windows. The tool will assist passengers to escape the bus as soon as an accident occurs while emergency services have not yet arrived. The design will be modelled using SolidWorks software.

Industrial design students impress auto
industry with their safety devices
A group of industrial design students from
the Shintaro Akatsu School of Design
(SASD) at the University of Bridgeport were
some of the biggest winners at the New
York International Auto Show on Friday,
April 1, when they were awarded nearly
every prize, including the $5,000 Grand
Prize, for devices they designed to save
lives in the event of traffic accidents, or
even prevent mishaps from occurring in
the first place.
Industrial Design majors Brian Rocks,
Taehoon Park, Jiaping Zhao, Wenyu Xin, Shuhan Chen, and Jiaxiang Shen won the Grand, Second, Third and
Fifth Prizes at the “Designs for Safety Competition,” which is held each year at the auto show in the Javits
Center.
This is not the first time that SASD students have won Safety Competition prizes, said SASD Industrial
Design Chairman Richard Yelle, “but it is always exciting to see our students’ talent being recognized by
automotive-industry and traffic-safety experts at this premier event.”
Jiaxiang Shen and Kiaping Zhao teamed up and won the $5000 First Prize for an emergency-alert LED

2. system they named Patronus. It is connected to the air bag system and can be turned on manually or
automatically. When a car is disabled, LED lights under the car immediately begin to flash quickly and
brightly, so a vehicle that is equipped with the system can clearly inform surrounding vehicles of an
emergency situation.
Students Shuhan Chen and Wenyu Xin won $2500 for their device, Double Direction Light. It aims to reduce
the approximately 500,000 traffic accidents that occur each year at blind intersections and on curvy roads
with limited visibility. The Double Direction Light works by alerting traffic in both directions on a curvy road
to optimize driver awareness. Sensors are placed along the roads. When the sensors detect vehicles
passing, a light facing the other direction or on and intersecting road will blink for a while to alert
oncoming vehicles. This system is powered by solar panels, saving energy.
The $1,250 Third Prize was awarded to student Taehoon Park for Quartrone, an airborne ambulance
system used to extract passengers from an isolated or difficult accident site. It is a remotely operated
system. The vehicle is located on top of an ambulance when not in use, so medics can deploy Quartrone
immediately at a scene of an accident. Since medic and patient can both ride together on the Quartrone,
medics can keep a constant care for the patient.
Brian Rocks won a $1250 Fifth Prize for the Lug Light. The Lug-Light fits on your tire just like any other
standard lug nut. However, it also has the added capability of lighting up when it becomes loose. Along
with a Bluetooth notification that’s received on the driver’s phone, the Lug-Light’s bright presence will allow
others to be aware of a potentially unsafe situation. Awareness of loose tires could prevent wheel
separations before they happen and ultimately save lives.
