Intro
Background
According to the "Global Report on Road Safety" made by the World Health Organization in 2013. We can know that the road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death in the world. The current trend is clear. Without urgent action, by 2030 road traffic injuries will rise to the fifth leading cause of death in the world.
Problem
Have you ever thought that a wrong step would seriously cause second accident?
The fact is: there are about 1.7 million rear-end collisions in the U.S. Among those collisions, there are about 9% people actually died due to secondary accidents.
It is a big issue….
Solution
MALACHI is an automatic system that helps avoiding secondary accident. The system comprises an electronic control unit built-in, which will connect to a robot in the rear bottom of the vehicle. Without leaving the vehicle, MALACHI will assist in launching the warning balloon and dialing emergency related contacts including 911, rode side assistant and insurance while emergency occurs.
