Analysis and study of use of light reflective stickers on Speed breakers to avoid sudden accidents.

Civil Engineering

Speedbreakers kill far more people than they rescue in India. According to Ministry of Roads and Transport data, these "safety gadgets" on the road cause 30 accidents every day, killing at least nine people. That is the two-year average since the government began tracking speed breakers in 2014. The data for last year have not yet been revealed, but government officials feel they can be compared. In 2015, 3,409 people were killed in traffic accidents in Australia and the United Kingdom combined (2,937 fatalities in 2015). Inadequate design, poor materials, no clear markings, and dangerous to drivers Nitin Gadkari, the federal road transport minister, stated, "This is a national concern." Every road has speed breakers that may shatter bones and damage automobiles." Speed bumps are legally mandated. Many government authorities and even drivers are unaware of these restrictions and design requirements. To avoid this circumstance, a strategy of installing reflectors on all uneven speed breakers so that the motorist sees a clear reflection of the screen and notices before approaching the speed breaker is implemented. This technique may be used by drivers to slow down and take the required steps to prevent accidents. Additionaly Vibration sensors and an emergency SMS sending system can also be incorporated to boost the life-saving factor.
