Abstract

This research attempts to identify the significant factors, analytically, in connection with safety in automotive driving and to develop a conceptual model of the electronic controller for the vehicle using such knowledge. Every year millions of people, around the world, meet casualties due to road accidents and the average lives lost per year in India alone is to the tune of hundred and fifty thousand strong. Such accidents are attributed to driver’s fault, road condition, traffic environmental factors and faults in vehicle mechanism. Researchers have focused primarily on these factors since the other factor ‘weather’ is beyond human control. The above three factors or causes have been studied, in Indian context, in this work and a concept model of driver assistance system, involving speed control module, is proposed.
