Automated hotline to check on Causeway traffic Options

[Rongxianglin]

Hi,



I'm a student from Singapore Management University embarking on a project in course, Technology & World Change. My team is intending to build a device which will solve the tailgating issue in Singapore.



As we all know, tailgating is a major cause for most accidents. Our device works like this:



1. A sensor will be attached to the front of the vehicle to detect the distance between itself and the car in front.



2. Once the sensor detects tailgating, meaning a distance of less than 1metre between 2 cars, it will trigger an alarm to the driver. To notify him that he is tailgating the car in front.



The full mechanics and details of our device have yet to be finalized. However, we'd like to hear from you, your views and takes on our innovation.



We hope that you guys can give us feedback on our innovation!


Please revert to us at daniel.soh.2008@smu.edu.sg.

Thanks!!

You are so Off Topic.

How nice would it be if all the checks can be performed by the computer. Causeway Traffic, Tailgating, petrol level, bladder level and nearest toilet available on the expressway.

There is so much uncertainty on the roads...

No thanks ah,

Rongxiang

Ya it will be good... when a car behind is travelling faster than the car infront... so the DEVICE... will automatically bring the car to another lane...
No road hogging... therefore no tailgating....

Cheers....

Maybe the device could do this way.
When detected a car is tailgating, it will send a command to the ECU of the car behind to ease off the acceleration. The driver at the back can step flat the accelerator but the ECU will just ignore.
Then, for the car behind, when detected a road hogger in front, It will send a command to the ECU of the car to accelerate.
If all cars have this feature, then bravo! No more speeding ticket! No more accident! No more hefty insurance premium! All workshop close shop!
... OK, better wake up from my day dreaming...

So the jam is due to the white card?

Read from another thread that they using new format white card?

don tink white card is e cause, its juz too many goin in ...

y, now white card got new pattern liao. but still tink old card can b used

[Philipkee]

Sorry off topic but i cannot start a new thread. Anyway, I went to JB at about 0150 hrs this morning 6 feb to top up petrol.

1) Causeway jammed. Not too bad but still got a bit of delay which is so unlike normal traffic at this time of night. Still, if it is like tt, i think will be worse next week.

2) Checks on groceries sibei stringent. I saw the police check once car, take out groceries and check and check. I in another queue three cars pass liao this car still being checked.

3) Yes, they are using a new white card but old white card can still use. At least i got through customs and when i handed my passport, they chopped it and give me back the passport with the detached copy of the old white card (normal practice) AND one of those brand new white cards. And I was thinking how to get new white cards when the jam was so bad that i could not leave my car to get more white cards.

Just tot of letting u all know.
