Bahrain students design black box for cars
Manama, January 21, 2011
A Black box for cars - containing basic information about its motion, function and features - similar to those found in airplanes, has been invented by two Bahraini students.
Bahrain University College of Infor-mation Tech-nology students Fatima Al Ansari and Latifa Jamal came up with the device aimed at providing vital information to crash investigators.
However, the equipment also has a built-in GPS system. 'We depended on our practical experience and created a special programme to design the device, which is a first in the country,' said Jamal.
'Over time, we plan to perfect it and add more features,' she added.-TradeArabia News Service
