India is one of the most populous nations in the world with over 900 million people living in 21 States. One of these States is Tamil Nadu situated in the Southern tip of India. Madras is the Capital City of Tamil Nadu which has a population of 4 million people. India as a whole is advancing rapidly in the industrial, agricultural and scientific field but rapid modernization also has its disadvantages. An average of 5,000 to 6,000 road trafile accidents occur every year in Madras City alone with at least one fatality per day. About 40% of the accidents involve pedestrians and cyclists who are unprotected by the vehicle shell or by crash helmet.
