A study on the accident warning sound system of the smombie driver

Abstract

In recent years, Smombie (Smartphone+Zombie) is a new word that refers to people who walk around walking on a smartphone while watching a smartphone. They are walking around while concentrating on smartphones, so, they do not look around and often cause accidents. However, there is not only an addict who is walking on the stomach but there are many unexpected drivers who use smart phones while driving. In order to prevent such accidents, we have conducted a study to forcibly install a system that generates a beep in response to external hazards as well as limited use in the driver's seat of a car as well as the smartphone itself. As a research method when a person holding a smartphone is seated in the driver's seat, the smartphone is automatically set to the driver's mode and the smartphone senses the driving of the vehicle, so that, only speakerphone or earphone phone call or navigation or audible sound is operated. The smartphone detected to be operated in the driver's seat temporarily stops the function, so that, other functions such as search or game cannot be used. Nevertheless, if the driver is using a smartphone, a strong beep will sound. You can also receive danger warnings in conjunction with external crosswalks or caution signs. This system is operated by automobile and smart phone. © Medwell Journals, 2018.
