Group work Development of Safety Concept in the Automobile.
ABSTRACT
Vehicle accidents are more rampant on Nigerian roads result in death of love ones yearly. Bearing in mind that accidents are inevitable, automobile manufacturers have fixed several safety devices to curtail the rate of accidents. Safety was not taken seriously during the early days of vehicle manufacturing it was until the first known fatal car accident of the last 1800s did safety becomes a design concern. The aim of this paper is therefore, to educate motorists and professionals on the importance of safety concept in automobile so as to save lives in the course of accident. Causes of accidents on the roads were itemizes and analyzed as well as recent and modern development of safety devices in automobile was researched upon. Accident avoidance on the auto safety and human factors as an integral part of the vehicle design process was also addressed.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND OF STUDY

INTRODUCTION The issue of safety concept in Automobile cannot be overemphasized. The resultant effect of lack of safety is accident which, happens when least expected is nobody’s wish.
Several authors have defined safety in many ways their definition tends towards preventing fatal accident to the barest minimum .Peden M. Mc Gee K, Sharma G. (2002) said safety measures is necessary in order to reduce the rate of accident from occurring. According to Conford (2005), whenever accident occurs, it is an indication that somebody somewhere has failed to do what should have

    Driving in and of itself is unsafe in its nature. The only thing keeping you connected to the ground is just four small patches of rubber. That is exactly why we should not take more risks while driving. Sure it may seem like you have layer of steel protecting you, but when you look at it, there is really not a lot between you and the ground when your going 50 miles an hour. The hazards of not following the rules of the road can be devastating. Not only can unsafe driving cause you to get a ticket and points against your license but it can also cause serious injury and sadly death in some cases. Must accidents are preventable by doing a few small things to insure your safety? I believe I read somewhere that some 95% of all accidents are driver error, which means nearly every single accident that occurs can be prevented by driving safely.…

    So what causes the problem? There are many different reasons why car accidents happen. Some people are distracted while driving. They are on the phone, sending text messages, fixing their make-ups, and most of the drivers are distracted because of rubbernecking. They set their eyes on something else and run into walls, other cars, or posts. Another major reason is drinking. People do not know how dangerous it is to drive drunk; furthermore, they don’t even know they had been drinking because they…

    The motor vehicle has always been one of the major contributors to the death rate in America. Every time a person enters a car he is putting himself into a tremendous amount of danger. In the year 2007, accidents ranked as the fifth highest cause for number of deaths in America (Leading Causes of Death). Not only do car accidents cause deaths and injuries, but they also result in an enormous amount of money that is needed to fix damages. For example, in 2005 there were approximately “6,420,000” documented car accidents in the U.S. (Car Accident Statistics). These accidents resulted in over “42,000” deaths and about “2,900,000” injuries (Car Accident Statistics). Not only were the people involved hurt, but their bank accounts were hurt as well. In this year alone, the money spent amounted to an unbelievable “230,000,000,000 dollars” (Car Accident Statistics). While the benefits of the automobile clearly outweigh the negatives, any measure to reduce accidents and the consequences of accidents should be taken by both individual drivers and the…

    There are various quality safety guidelines that must be followed to lessen the risk of a crash (www.ezinearticle.com). My question, however, does anyone know of these guidelines because no one I know follows safety guidelines. The leading cause of car accidents is the consumption of alcohol by the driver (www.ezinearticles.com). The way you could prevent people from drinking and driving is to get a designated driver (DD) or call a taxi to drive you home. Driving under the influence can get you a DUI if getting pulled over. An additional prevention of getting in crashes is to never grasp for things in their vehicle while driving, like a cellphone. What also makes drivers less aware is road rage. Each driver must manage their temper when on the road (www.ezinearticles.com). Now, new cars are now being equipped with machines that aid the drivers to prevent car crashes. These machines consist of proximity detectors that detect how far away your car is from others around you and an automatic acceleration machine to decrease your speed if you are going above the speed…

    ABSTRACT: Binary division is basically a procedure to determine how many times the divisor D divides the dividend B thus resulting in the quotient Q. At each step in the process the divisor D either divides B into a group of bits or it does not. The divisor divides a group of bits when the divisor has a value less than or equal to the value of those bits. Therefore, the quotient is either 1 or 0. The division algorithm performs either an addition or subtraction based on the signs of the divisor and the partial remainder. There are number of binary division algorithm like Digit Recurrence Algorithm restoring, non-restoring and SRT Division (Sweeney, Robertson, and Tocher), Multiplicative Algorithm, Approximation Algorithms, CORDIC Algorithm and Continued Product Algorithm. This paper focus on the digit recurrence non restoring division algorithm, Non restoring division algorithm is designed using high speed subtractor and adder. High speed adder and subtractor are used to speed up the operation of division. Designing of this division algorithm is done by using VHDL and simulated using Xilinx ISE 8.1i software has been used and implemented on FPGA xc3s100e-5vq100.…
