Motorcyclists Safety Assistant App

Motorcycles are an important part of daily transportation. They are specially used to avoid traffic congestions downtown and most of the individuals tend to use a motorcycle because it takes less time to get to the destination. The rapid increase of motorcycle usage has led to a significant increase in the number of motorcycle-related accidents and fatalities. The reasons for accidents which were considered are speeding, collision with objects, lack of focus or drowsiness where only the rider's head is protected but not the body. And accidents may lead to death when help is not called immediately. By considering these, author introduces a Motorcyclists Safety Assistant Application (MSAA). This research tries to address four major factors that caused most road accidents and fatalities in Sri Lanka. They are excess speed, 360-degree threat detection, motorcyclist safety balloons, and emergency alert system. Here, MSAA can detect the vehicle's real-time speed and inform the user when a certain speed limit has been exceeded. Also, it has proposed a system which automatically detects threats that occur in each collision and alerts the rider via visual and audio cues. Moreover, the next system will be focusing on safeguarding the rider's body by inflating an airbag which will be connected to the rider's jacket. An automatic alert system is also introduced where the main objective is to mitigate the consequences of accidents by sending a message to the registered mobile using wireless communication techniques and checks whether an accident has occurred using vibration frequency limits. Location will be sent through the tracking system to cover the geographical coordinates over the area. The proposed domain successfully contributes to a drastic reduction in road accidents. The ultimate objective is to create a better future for everybody through road safety. The survey conducted to test the user satisfactory level, demonstrated high user satisfaction.
