Applying intelligent speed adaptation to a road safety mobile application — DriverSafeMode

摘要

Road safety is an utmost important concern regarding motorized transportation. The increasing motorized transportation has placed a significant burden on people's health in the form of uncontrollable growth rate of road traffic accidents and fatalities which has caused detrimental social and economic consequences in Sri Lanka. Despite number of interventions and action plans the government of Sri Lanka has enforced in order to ensure road safety, the statistics under road safety remain dangerously negative. In this paper, we present an intelligent mobile application solution “DriverSafeMode”, which applies Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) to aid drivers to avoid excessive speed, which is the most common and dangerous road and traffic offence committed by the drivers in Sri Lanka. In addition, the proposed system provides an effective aid to avoid mobile phone distraction while driving. The test results and user evaluation has proved that the proposed solution provide a reachable and a contrasting approach, compared to the existing road safety systems.
