Abstract

One of factor that increases motor accident is motorcyclist visibilities. Fatal accidents involve motorcycles are the highest in Malaysia compare to other type of vehicle. The purpose of this project is to ensure that motorcyclists are constantly monitored by attracting other road users while riding a motorcycle. A study by Wood found that at night drivers correctly identified person wearing a reflective vest 67% of the time. In order to increase motor visibilities, motorcyclists need to wear light reflective jacket. The reflective material returns light into the direction of the light’s source and serves to allow the driver to see the light reflected from the material that the person is wearing. This type of material tends to work best in environments that are dully lit. It’s not that these materials can’t reflect in the daylight, but it doesn’t do a very good job. The fluorescent material differs from reflective materials in that it absorbs some invisible ultraviolet light from sunlight, then special pigments release those UV light rays as more visible light. It can only do this in areas where there is natural light. Before that, survey method is used to collect data by using Goggle form and distribute to 100 respondents about the improvement need to do on motorcyclist jacket. This project can reduce the rider accident at night besides the price offer is very affordable
