Abstract

Food delivery is a service that brings excellent food from a nearby restaurant to hungry clients' doorsteps.Customers, on the other hand, prefer to order food delivery services through third-party websites and web applications. Motorization is rapidly growing in Asian countries, and motorcycles have surpassed cars as the most popular mode of transportation. In several large Asian cities, the number of motorcycles per thousand people is substantially higher than in other countries. With the expanding use of motorbikes, traffic injuries and fatalities in Malaysia are becoming a significant problem, with speeding being one of the leading causes. The majority of incidents occur at night or during heavy rain, when the rider is unable to see the car stop. This could endanger other people's autos. Motorcycle fatalities are more likely between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. The goals of this project are to design and create a brake light and signal hazard system that can be attached to the bags of food delivery riders to improve visibility and prevent unforeseen events, particularly in bad weather. This project will create an LED flashing system that will be attached to the bags of food delivery riders to help other road users identify other motorcyclists in front of them. The receiver and transmitter are used to build the electrical circuit of the Arduino controller. An LED blinking light will be used to illuminate the food delivery rider’s bags. The advantages are lower costs, technicality, simplicity, affordability, and compatibility. In this system, Arduino is properly developed to combine with current brake and signal to be utilised in motorcycles. The wireless system in this project consists of a transmitter and a receiver. It uses an Arduino system to produce the signal or brake light received from the motorbike transmitter and give it to the receiver linked to the food delivery rider's bag to switch on the light instruction. A true prototype is a success to develop since it is straightforward and works well in all weather. There is also no buffering data flow between the transmitter and receiver. Although the contemporary motorcycle has a tail light, it is insufficient to attract the attention of the car behind them. As a consequence, this third prototype brake light and signal definitely assists other vehicles from behind to see the motorbike rider clearly even during the night within 10 metres, 20 metres and 30 metres. Finally, installing a third brake light and signal, as well as an LED blinking system, can aid improve visibility and notify other drivers to the presence of a motorbike ahead of them. The maximum sight and distance range for the third brake light and signal is between 10,20,30 metres and above.
