VEDIWARD – An Alarm And Vehicle Instability Detector To Avoid Road Accidents
The number of lorry-related road accidents has recently increased, prompting a team of researchers from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) to develop an alarm; VEDIWARD.
It is a vehicle instability detector and alarm that can assist truck drivers in avoiding road accidents.
Here are some facts about VEDIWARD:
• Designed specifically for truck drivers
• Human-voice warning system
• An early warning will be issued prior to an accident occurring.
• Assist the driver in correcting his or her driving before an accident occurs.
According to a study conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), the main causes of road accidents are:
• Human aspects (80.6 percent )
• Traffic conditions (13.2 percent )
• Automobiles (6.2 percent )
The use of this tool has the potential to save drivers' and other drivers' lives, as well as prevent accidents.
