Rash Driving Detection

Commonly detected behaviors associated with rash driving include:

• Sudden Acceleration/Deceleration: Rapid speed changes that are unnecessary or unsafe.

• Hard Braking: Braking aggressively, often indicating a lack of distance or attention.

• High Speeding/Over-speeding: Exceeding the set speed limit.

• Erratic Steering/Rapid Turns/Swerving: Sudden, sharp, or unusual changes in the vehicle's direction or lane.

• Frequent Lane Changing: Changing lanes too often or too quickly.

Various technologies and sensors are utilized for rash driving detection, including:

1. Smartphone Sensors:

   • Accelerometer: Measures acceleration and deceleration, used to detect sudden speed changes and impacts.

   • Gyroscope: Measures the orientation and angular velocity, used to detect rapid turning or swerving.

   • GPS (Global Positioning System): Tracks the vehicle's speed and location, used to check against speed limits and analyze driving routes.

2. Dedicated Vehicle Sensors (Telematics/OBD-II devices):

   • These devices plug into the vehicle's onboard diagnostics port or are installed directly to gather more precise data on speed, RPM, brake usage, etc.

3. Roadside Infrastructure:

   • Infrared (IR) Sensors: Placed at fixed distances on highways to calculate a vehicle's speed by measuring the time taken to travel between the two points.

   • ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) Cameras: Used in some advanced systems to capture images of vehicles identified as speeding or driving rashly.

4. Computer Vision/Camera-Based Systems:

   • Using dashcams or other vehicle cameras, sometimes combined with image processing and machine learning (AI), to monitor lane-keeping, distance from other vehicles, and driver actions (like looking away or using a phone).

NekInsan Rash Driving Detection:

Nek Insan offers services that include rash driving detection as part of its safety platform, which is primarily managed through their mobile application.

Here is a breakdown of how Nek Insan handles rash driving detection:

1. Sensor-Based Monitoring:

   • The Nek Insan app utilizes a smartphone's built-in sensors (like GPS for speed and location, and presumably the accelerometer and gyroscope for motion analysis, although this is more explicitly mentioned for their crash detection feature) to monitor driving patterns.

2. Detection and Alert:

   • The system continuously tracks the vehicle's speed and other driving maneuvers in real-time.

   • It generates "Rash Driving & Black-Spot Alerts" and "Over-Speed Alerts" if it detects dangerous behavior (e.g., exceeding a set speed threshold).

3. Family/Admin Notification:

   • The core functionality is focused on Family Control or monitoring. The alerts are sent instantly to the pre-registered family members or designated contacts (the user who is monitoring the trip).

   • This acts as a smart safety net, allowing loved ones to monitor the trip, receive instant updates, and potentially intervene or advise the driver.

4. Proactive Safety Features:

   • The platform emphasizes "Prevention of Accident" by providing:

     • Real-Time Route Tracking and Speed Monitoring.

     • Black-Spot Warnings (alerts for accident-prone zones) to the driver.

     • The option for Audio Safety Messages from the family during over-speeding.

NekInsan uses a smartphone-based application to monitor a driver's behavior and immediately alerts a designated family member or monitor upon detecting rash driving events like over-speeding or other erratic driving patterns. This is part of a larger safety ecosystem that also includes their prominent human-activated QR Code Safety Stickers for accident and wrong parking alerts.
