Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine a newly designed road safety device. It is a portable device that provide drivers with instant information about driving environment and can act as a data logger. The device has a global positioning system (GPS) receiver so that it can determine the vehicles location and speed approximately every second. If the speed limit Exceeded in addition the device will provide auditory alerts when the driverapproaches potential hazard (eg. ,a Cross walk ).

Keywords

portable device, data logger,global positioning system, auditory alerts.
