This document outlines advanced embedded solutions aimed at improving safety in public transportation systems. It highlights critical components like driver training, collision avoidance systems, and real-time passenger information systems. The integration of GPS vehicle tracking, ticket readers, and communication technologies enhances operational efficiency. The text discusses the necessity for ongoing training for operators, the implementation of safety features like seat belt reminders, and alcohol interlocks to reduce traffic fatalities. By addressing these factors, we can significantly enhance the safety and reliability of public transportation.

Five horsepower Kinetic energy of about 1 KiloJoules The operator undergoes three years of fulltime training wear helmets eyeglasses their skills are constantly upgraded by retraining programs. 100 to 600 horsepower At at 40 kmph and 800 kg without load kinetic energy is 100 KiloJoules. The operators mostly untrained operating them part time for maybe 1 hr. a day. Why public driving is a risk
Card Readers/ticket readers Vehicle tracking : GPS/Cellphone Collision avoidance for buses travelling in platoons. Communication between buses and traffic lights. Passenger information systems in buses and bus stations Next stop Position of buses, arrival time Arrival time of a route bus at nearest stop Interface to net/cellphone Rapid Surface Transit
In automobiles • Seat belt reminders. • Detect usage. If not, give aggressive audible warnings • Speed adaptation systems • injury increases as square of velocity • system that advises/allows speeds based on situation • Alcohol Interlocks • 38 percent of traffic fatalities* and up to 40 percent of industrial fatalities and 47 percent of industrial injuries can be linked to alchohol. • Compact breath analysers are available abroad. • optical- interference, infrared absorption, and heat generation from a catalytic reaction on a hot platinum wire could be used to make a touch sensor
Some other concepts • Taxi optimisation system • Road user database tools • traffic counts • velocities • As vehicle manufacturing in India steps up • multi channel A/D for car prototype testing • speciality camera built around speciality CCD’s Thank You
