People use different vehicles and mean for
commuting around the world, but motorcycles are the
craziest vehicle used by the young generation. Among
different commuting vehicles, motorcycles dominate the
roads in many low- and middle-income countries and at
the same time, there is a rapid increase in the injuries
and deaths of riders. Recentlyin October 2022, the World
Health Organization [WHO] and itspartners launched an
updated manual to help policymakers in ending the
disaster of road traffic deaths and injuries involving
motorcycles and other powered two- and three-wheelers.
The report says nearly 30% of all road crash deaths
involve poweredtwo- and three-wheeled vehicles, such as
motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, and electrical bikes (ebikes), and the numbers are rising. Key risk factors for
motorcycle traffic injuries include drivers not wearing
helmets, overspeeding, rash driving, alcohol impairment,
mixed traffic conditions, violation of traffic rules, a lack
of protection from the vehicle in a crash, anda lack of safe
infrastructure for such vehicles such as poor road
surfaces and roadside hazards. The authors have
proposed a 'smart bike' based on the use of new edge
technologies such as IoT and a powered two-wheeled
vehicle equipped with sensors, and an SoS alarming
system to get help in emergencies. The Global
Positioning System (GPS)has become an integral part of
a vehicle system and its capabilities can be used to
monitor and control the speed of a vehicle. Also, GPS
will help to locate the vehicle in case of emergencies
which will ensure in-time help of emergency service
providers to save valuable human life.
