About Project
Motivation
With an ever increasing number of cars on the roads around the world, the issue of road safety affects drivers of all types, particularly those who frequently travel long distance due to the increased risk due to driver fatigue. The number of fatalities from road traffic accidents is a tragic and preventable epidemic with road traffic fatalties in Ireland in 2023 being the highest in eight years. This is not just a problem is Ireland however with over a million people killed on the world's roads each year. This project's motivation is to attempt to address this crisis by exploring technological solutions that can reduce the risks of accident occurance.
Approach
The goal of this project given the problem statement of reducing risk of accidents and improving road safety was to attempt to apply the recent advances in on-device machine learning to develop a mobile application capable of tackling the most common contributory factors to road traffic accidents, driver fatigue, excessive speed and driver distraction. The impact of such a system in helping prevent road traffic collisions has the potential to save the lives of its users and make the roads a safer place for the public at large.
