The ProblemThe Problem
15-20 year olds account for over 6% of licensed drivers in the United States
These same drivers account for close to 14% of all fatal motor vehicle accidents
In 2004, nearly 300,000 teens were injured and about 3,600 lost their lives
TOO MANY TEENS ARE DYING IN CAR ACCIDENTS!

What we didWhat we did
1. Collected data on teen accidents
2. Analyzed data from an engineering perspective
3. Concluded speeding was the leading cause
4. Proposed a GPS-based, speed limit sensitive alert system for the driver

Our ProposalOur Proposal
A program that utilizes GPS to create an audible warning tone when the speed limit is broken by a predetermined amount
Integrated into newer vehicles’ satellite navigation systems
or A standalone system for older vehicles
