Ireland Introduces New ‘Average Speed’ cameras. Speeding Motorists Are Caught using Travel Time Technology! How can we do this better in India? Can Indian Govt. Mandate Automakers to connect Cloud-Based Monitoring using IoT Sensors? Our Incubatee (Kshemin Labs) is ready with a solution. Read this Interesting Perspective!!

Dear Friends and Students

Look at these shocking facts published by www.who.int: Approximately 1.35 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. Road traffic crashes cost most countries 3% of their gross domestic product. 93% of the world's fatalities on the roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have approximately 60% of the world's vehicles.

Speed Thrills but It Kills? How Average Speed Matters? Every 1% increase in Mean Speed produces a 4% increase in the fatal crash risk. The death risk for pedestrians hit by car fronts rises rapidly (4.5 times from 50 km/h to 65 km/h). In car-to-car side impacts, the fatality risk for car occupants is 85% at 65 km/h.

Will you agree now why Ireland is Introducing this New ‘Average Speed’ Technique? They introduced a technology to measure its average travel time between two spots. By capturing the time each car passes the two locations, it can average out the speed the driver was traveling at to cover the stretch. This way system motivates every driver to manage his/her average Speed and avoid tickets.

Dear Students

We incubated a start-up named Keshmin Labs (Pradeep Varma, Gyansai K and Rohit K (2016-2020 ECE)) (ksheminlabs.com). They developed a device that can monitor the driving pattern and vehicle condition to give live alerts based on the behavior. It can automatically detect a crash and alert predefined members with the location and impact of the crash. It also provides real-time updates about the speed limits. It detects Drowsiness and Damage or theft alert when parked. The final goal is to connect the car to the cloud to make it a smart car. We are ready with a complete solution!

Appeal to Govt: Keeping the importance of this technology, it is a good idea to make all automakers embed a chip/sensor to measure time and distance (average speed) and constantly connect to Govt. RTO Cloud Database. As soon as the driver starts the steering, the IoT sensor connects to Cloud Server, meters the distance. As soon as the driver stops, the IoT sensor reports it back to Cloud again and calculates the average speed!

Speed Thrills, But It Kills! Average Speed Fits the Bill !!
