‘I AM HERE’

Abstract

In Malaysia, cycling on the road has recently become popular among all age groups, including kids, teens, and adults. Statistics from the Department of Investigation and Traffic Enforcement (JSPT) recorded a total of 653 cases of accidents involving bicycles on roads throughout the country in the period from August 2018 until August 2020. A total of 399 individuals were reported dead, while 119 suffered serious injuries, followed by 135 minor injuries during the same period. Bicycle safety aid is a necessity and a must for every cyclist who rides on the road to prevent accidents. This project focuses on the safety of cyclists who ride bicycles on the road, especially at night. The objective of this project is to prevent accidents between cyclists and other vehicles while on the road and improve their safety. "I Am Here" is the jacket that is equipped with the safety aid and the motion sensor to display the desired output on the led lamp according to the instructions programmed on the arduino. The motion sensor will respond to the body posture to emit the signal light, whether to turn to the right or left. The aid can also detect the presence of other vehicles within a certain distance and alert the cyclist. This project will benefit cyclists and other drivers by preventing accidents from occurring and improving their safety.
