I hereby declare that I am responsible for the work submitted in this project, that the original work is mine except as specified in the references and acknowledgments, and that the original work contained herein was not performed or done by anyone other than -specified sources or persons. Application for Motorcyclists - An Emergency Treatment” is an Android mobile application for emergency treatment used when motorcyclists have a minor car breakdown or an emergency incident. This project aims to meet the needs of Malaysians by creating an application that caters to Malaysian motorcyclists who currently do not have a minor vehicle breakdown or emergency incident application available today.
This thesis will focus on the introduction of the project, followed by the literature review, the methodology used, the results and discussion of the project and finally the conclusion and recommendation arising from this project. It is concluded that application development has some potential as it has the potential to commercialize the application in the future. First and foremost, I would like to praise Allah Almighty because without His blessing and grace this project would not have been complete.
Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends who have supported me throughout this project.

Majority or most of the emergency treatment applications available are based on the injury incident and this would not meet the needs of Malaysians. The overall functionality of the motorcyclist application – an emergency treatment must be satisfactory to the users. The design phase will begin by designing the system architecture first to receive a general idea of the overall system.
After the completion of the design phase, the development phase will begin based on the work done in the design phase. The third and final goal of this project would be to test and evaluate the developed mobile application. The project area would be Malaysia to ensure the feasibility of the project.
Development, testing and evaluation of the application are feasible given the time frame of the second semester. In addition, the area and target group that users mention in the project scope contribute to the feasibility of the project.

Regardless of the application, the goal of a good user interface is to be user-friendly. It has already been proven by Adipat and Zhang (2005) in their research that interface design is probably one of the most important issues in mobile application development. Malaysia has the highest road death risk (per 100,000 population) among the ASEAN countries and more than 50% of road accident deaths involve motorcyclists.
Among the participants in fatal accidents, 75% of motorcyclists wear helmets, and 35% do not have the appropriate driver's licenses. The increasing number of vehicles somehow contributes to the increasing number of accidents involving road users. Some of the methods used by the government to ensure the safety of Malaysians on the road are Ops Pacak, Ops Sikap, Ops Statik, as well as the use of helicopters to monitor vehicle movements, poster distribution, awareness campaigns and also law enforcement. Done.
Despite the government's efforts to minimize road accidents, the reality is that the number of road accidents continues to increase and road fatalities have now become the biggest threat and critical problem in Malaysia, especially with the increasing number of vehicles per year. Furthermore, voracious drivers have turned the road into a place to race, taking advantage of testing the speed or acceleration of their vehicle. All traffic rules and warning signs are guidelines for road users to be safe on the road and should not be ignored.
A recent report observed various accidents across the country and came to an understanding of the possible causes and ways to prevent them. Large vehicles - large vehicles such as vans, SUVs and super large cars are one of the reasons why most motorcycle accidents happen. Almost 70% of motorcycle accidents on the road happen when the rider stops suddenly which throws the rider off his bike and lands.
Out of control - the other reason most negligent riders are often their loss of control of their bikes, which ends up running out onto the pavement or hitting some side objects. This leads to back and neck injuries, broken bones and spinal cord fractures. The architecture of Android is like a stack with Application as the top layer and Linux Kernel is the bottom layer of Android.

Furthermore, the method helps to better identify user needs throughout the analysis and design phase up to the development of the prototype itself. First the author should look for the idea of an interactive mobile application for motorcyclists. The author must be aware of the current situation in the mobile application market regarding this application for motorcyclists.
To develop this project, first the author plans to do a survey about the motorcycle and the idea for this project from motorcyclists who will be the target users. In addition, the author plans to do research about the mobile application, the framework of how this application will work and interact with users, and the tools for developing this project. Users and developers work closely and quickly to create prototypes that capture systems requirements and become the basis for the physical design of the system being developed.
In the design process, the author plans to develop a basic architecture plan for the system that will describe the hardware, software, and network infrastructure that will be used in this project. In addition, the author will tackle the design of the interface, which will determine how the user will move through the mobile application, the layout of the mobile application and how many buttons will be displayed. End users are also involved, checking screens and other aspects of the design during the application system build.
This phase is intended to test the built prototype of the mobile application and determine if changes are needed or any ideas to improve the prototype. We will download the entire mobile application from the tools used by the author to the smartphone and run it. The design of interfaces started with the main page, followed by other subpages.
Coding and programming are the most important parts of the project, because if you don't do it, the project will be judged as a failure. Other key activities include the presentation of the prototype along with a poster summarizing the entire project by Prof. Each of the activities is considered a milestone, in the sense of a waterfall that the first activity is completed before it can proceed to the next.

Another interesting finding is that the majority of motorcyclist applications come from the Malay race. Among the reasons given were that applications are expensive, urgent treatment is not a priority and that it is. The majority answered that the application on the market is not suitable for them and does not meet their needs, so the respondents see no reason why they should invest in an application for emergency treatment.
Another finding that was found is that most of the respondents are willing to buy an emergency treatment application that consists of Malaysian motorcyclists for a reasonable price. The figure shows that most would want to buy the app if it was reasonably priced. The figure shows that 82% of respondents would like an application that meets their needs and in this case it would mean an emergency treatment application that consists of motorcyclist requirements.
The purpose of the test was to see areas that need improvement and to identify any system errors. This was to test whether the application can run on the Android operating system. The figure above shows that the application has been successfully installed on four different mobile devices.
Ease of installation includes the ease with which the application can be installed on the hardware. For interfaces, it concerns the aspects related to the usability of the interface and how easily the user can navigate from one interface to another. Runtime test on aspect where the time it takes for the application to run on the devices and how long it takes to start the application.
Based on the results of the test, the author identified the areas where the application needs improvement. The author has identified elements that need to be added to make the application more attractive to the user. The author has noticed one mistake at this stage, which is that the author has not placed enough emphasis on the presentation.
This error will be corrected immediately and the correction will be shown in the next phase of the project. The deliverable of the project is the submission of reports from Final Year Project 1 (FYP 1) to be completed and submitted during the May 2013 semester and the remaining reports to be completed and submitted during the September 2013 semester.
