“…As a developing country, the transportation system in Malaysia has become vital, and the demand for vehicles has been increasing every year [ 1 , 2 ]. The number of registered vehicles was 15,790,732 in 2006, and it grew to 29,666,187 by September 2018 [ 3 , 4 ]. The rising population and number of vehicles on the roads increased the risk of road traffic accidents (RTAs), leading to injuries and even fatalities [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Non-fatal injuries (NFIs) due to road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a public health problem worldwide that significantly impacts the population morbidity and healthcare costs. As the demands for vehicles in developing countries, such as Malaysia, is increasing annually, the present study aims to determine the prevalence and factors associated with NFIs due to RTAs among Malaysia’s adult population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 15,321 participants from the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study conducted in Malaysia. Participants reported whether they had experienced an NFI that limited their normal activities within the past 12 months. Data on risk factors for NFIs were elicited. Multiple logistic regression models were fitted to identify the associated factors. Results: Overall, 863 participants (5.6% of 15,321) reported at least 1 NFI in the past 12 months, with 303 caused by RTAs (35.1%), 270 caused by falls (31.3%) and 290 attributed to other causes (33.6%). The factors associated with higher odds of sustaining an NFI due to an RTA were being male (adjusted odd ratio (AOR) 2.08; 95% CI 1.33–3.26), having a primary (2.52; 1.40–4.55) or secondary (2.64; 1.55–4.49) level of education, being overweight to obese (1.40; 1.01–1.94), being currently employed (2.03; 1.31–3.13) and not practicing a noon nap/siesta (1.38; 1.01–1.89). Conclusions: The occurrence of NFIs due to RTAs is highly preventable with strategic planning aimed at reducing the risk of RTAs among the Malaysian population. Interventions focusing on protecting road users, especially those who drive two-wheelers, with proactive road safety awareness and literacy campaigns, combined with strict enforcement of the existing traffic laws and behavioural modifications, may reduce the risk of NFIs following RTAs.

Research and development advancements in the area of Vehicle Door Security using Smart Tag and Fingerprint System. Fingerprint biometric is one of the popular, ubiquitous, reliable, economical and efficient biometric technologies. Due to its versatility, fingerprint biometric is applicable. Fingerprint is popular because of its universality, uniqueness, permanence, acceptability, performance [1]. The Arduino as a controller between RFID Sensor, Fingerprint Sensor, Buzzer, LCD, LED and Relay. This research implemented for security purpose to protect the safety of vehicle from vehicle theft or burglary. It is very useful and important for alert the people who have vehicle to protect it from theft. This is a very important system to be implemented at the main door of vehicle. The system started to work when the user access either than one system fingerprint or smart tag to lock and unlock the door. The fingerprint system only user can access their fingerprint whereas the smart tag system can access by user or user’s intimate relative when they borrow the vehicle for emergency. The vehicle door cannot be opened when unmatched fingerprint is access or incorrect smart tag is access. Once the incorrect smart tag is access by unauthorized person, the buzzer will be activated and produce a high level of alarm sound to alert the user. The Arduino Uno microcontroller is controlled by the entire system of the project. Hence, it is easy to implement and available to use because it has a simple function, so this system can be enhancing with modern technology so it can be applying into vehicle part for secure the vehicle
