Road Safety 🛣️

Problem Statement ⚠️

The Global status report on road safety **by WHO, published in 2018, highlights that the number of annual road traffic deaths has reached 1.35 million. Road traffic injuries are now the leading killer of people aged between 5-29 years.

A few major causes of these deaths and critical injuries are the late medical response, bystanders’ negligence, and inability to contact the right emergency services. The matter in concern is very critical and for the person involved in such accidents, every second is crucial for their health.

A worse scenario could be that someone is present a few miles from where you have crashed and could help save your life, but isn’t aware of the accident.

Such preventable yet tragic scenarios are present in our day-to-day life and lead to the 1.35 million deaths we see each year and that’s what we seek to solve with Mapcident
