Problem Statement

Many people wear earphones during outdoor activities; however, it often leads to unexpected accidents due to a lack of attention caused by the absence of hearing.

Of the pedestrian accidents reported in the United States between 2004 and 2011, 116 were directly related to wearing earphones, and 70% of those resulted in fatalities.
