It is found that there are detrimental effects in using mobile devices while driving. This affect affects driving behavior and it is analyzed that the usage of hand held devices has a positive relationship with motor vehicle crashes. It is reported that 84% of Australian drivers own a mobile phone and more importantly ,47% of them use their mobile phones while driving. It also reported that 25% of car accidents were caused from talking on mobile phones. A recent study suggests that in-vehicle visual display may increase mental workload causing distractions while driving.

We aim to address this contemporary issue through the use of current computing infrastructure capabilities. The requirement of developing a new on-demand based service framework using cloud based provisioning with DSS technology. We propose a conceptual approach that is comprised of hardware, software and network components that provide automatic monitoring support for the relevant road safety stakeholders and monitoring solution can automatically detect hand-held device usage while driving. A small device will be mounted in the vehicle for capturing the drivers sequential movement and transmitting information to the cloud the cloud so that the road safety authority can obtain relevant data anywhere.

The service design in cloud computing has become increasingly accepted within the web community as it offers reduced IT overhead and flexibility for users. The heart of cloud computing is the virtual machine and its mechanism for providing resources to the users. It refers to both the applications delivered as services over the internet and the hardware and the system software in the data centre that provide those services. Machine virtualisation is more useful as a service for its enhanced capability. Firstly, cloud computing offers computing resources on demand for end users to plan their long term provisioning and secondly, it eliminates up-front commitment by the end users on the computing infrastructure and finally it enables use of computing resources on a short term.

The cloud architectural model has been classified into three types: Private cloud Public cloud Hybrid cloud Most of the target decision makers require access through private and public networks. Design considerations are: the simplest application design, splitting function of the applications into clusters, realizing network communication and testability. The DSS functions can be decompose into three clusters: DSS user interface Business rules for decision making Preservation of database.

The objective of the study is to outline a conceptual framework that can automatically detect when a driver is using a hand-held device, generating an alert message through an onboard device.

The following five processes have been identified to the goals : Determining vehicle motion Capturing video and audio data inside the vehicle Detecting the use of hand-held device while driving. Transmitting and generating warning message. Communicating automatically with a designated server and/or legal authority.

This article claims to be a potential research avenue for developing a real DSS solution for the Australian road safety authority. It is argued that current DSS suffers from endusers provisioning issues within complex network environments . The successful implementation of the design model would potentially provide invaluable services to the road transport authority and drivers by enhancing road safety features, and thus help prevent risky driving practices.
