DRIVE SAFE MOBILE APPLICATION

Drive Safe is a mobile application that aims to educate people about road safety
awareness. It is built as a platform to nurture road users especially Malaysians to be
more responsible on the road. Road accident has been acknowledged as the number
one killer in Malaysia beating drugs and aids far way behind. People are dying more
on the roads than anywhere else. The root cause for this situation is mainly because
of human negligence. Malaysians are still lacking road safety awareness; if this can
be put to an end, then definitely we are looking forward for a safer ride in the future.
In this project, the main purpose is to educate people on the importance of
road safety awareness. The scope of this project is broad as it attempts to address not
only vehicles drivers and motorcyclist, but all road users including cyclist and
pedestrians. Nevertheless, this project is targeted to audiences who live in Malaysia
only. Therefore, the perceptions of all types of road users are hugely important in the
development of this application. Rapid Application Development methodology is
employed in this project, so that the features and functions implemented can be
tested module by module.
Last but not least, this project also managed to come up with numerous
interesting and yet important findings about road users in Malaysia. For example,
most road users are unaware of the 12 second; which is designed to remind motorist
that he or she needs room to slow down, stop or take evasive action if something
happens on the road in front of them. Therefore, Drive Safe Mobile Application aims
to educate people with those rules and regulations that are rarely heard by people
such as 2 second rule, 4 second rule, do’s and don’ts before and after drive and many
more.
