Rickshaw Buddy RICKSHAW BUDDY is a lowcost automated assistance system for threewheeler auto rickshaws to reduce the high rate of accidents in the streets of developing countries like Bangladesh. It is a given fact that the lack of over speed alert, back camera, detection of rear obstacle and delay of maintenance are causes behind fatal accidents. These systems are absent not only in auto rickshaws but also most public transports. For this system, surveys have been done in different phases among the passengers, drivers and even the conductors for a useful and successful result. Since the system is very cheap, the lowincome drivers and owners of vehicles will be able to afford it easily making road safety the first and foremost priority.

RealTime Forward Collision Alert System using Raspberry Pi Most new luxury cars often comes with some form of driving assistance systems to reduce the risk of car accidents  such as the lane departure warning system, automatic parking, antilock braking system(ABS), blind spot monitor and forward collision warning system. These systems are developed to enhance the car safety and to provide a safer driving conditions. Due to its cost and design, these systems, often are only available in luxury cars. The main purpose of this work is to propose a realtime lowcost Forward Collision Alert System (FCAS). The FCAS are able to alert drivers, when their cars are getting too close to the front vehicle by estimating the speed of the car in front, using a loud beeping sound. The FCAS is then embedded onto a Raspberry Pi for realtime. Experimental results shows that the system can reliably alert the driver, in realtime, when a moving vehicle in front position is too close.
