EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In this report, the team will be addressing the issue of distracted driving and how the addition of certain safety features to the existing Garmin NUVI 4592LM can resolve this issue. The proposal reviews secondary research such as road traffic accidents data and statistics to understand the severity of the issue and how it negatively impacts road users. Through this research, the team decided on the key features to add to the existing Garmin Nuvi 4592LM which were deemed as necessary, to resolve the issue of distracted driving. More research was conducted on the chosen features to determine the pros and cons. The benefits and considerations were taken into account when conducting a feasibility study on the proposed modifications. The final proposed solution includes the implementation of eye tracking function, a rear-view function, and a behavioural recording device.

Dear Mr Blackstone,
Addition of safety functions to Garmin NUVI 4592LM
Enclosed is the design report on the proposed modifications to the existing Garmin Nuvi 4592LM. We would like to propose the modifications that will enhance the Garmin Nuvi 4592LM and transform it into a multi-functional, reliable, and state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS).
Distracted driving is an ever-present danger and problem in today’s society. With technology right at our fingertips in the form of mobile phones, it is tempting to use them while driving. Unfortunately, this has become a norm and has affected over 10,000 pedestrians in Singapore alone from 2012-2015 (Ministry of Home Affairs, 2015). The proposed addition of safety functions to Garmin Nuvi is to enhance user safety. Its main purpose is to equip users with the necessary features and functionality to practice safe driving while improving their driving skills over time.
The main elements of the report are:
· Proposed modifications to Garmin Nuvi 4592LM.
· Benefits of proposed modifications.
· Evaluation of proposed modifications.
· Research conducted on the product and the current situation on road safety.
Diversity thanks you for the opportunity to carry out this project and your consideration of our proposed design modifications will be deeply appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
