The existence of transportation is a vital need for the community. The importance of transport cannot be separated from the mobility needs that the community must carry out. The increasing number of motorized vehicles sees this transportation need to this day. This increase in the number of vehicles must be accompanied by providing road infrastructure that supports safe driving. One of the enabling factors in driving safety is the provision of facilities or infrastructure for safe driving behaviour, such as traffic signs and street lighting.

The Garuda UNY team will participate in the 2022 Formula Electric Student Competition Indonesia International Motor Show (FESC IIMS) in early April to accelerate the development and research of electric cars. The event requires students to create works in the form of vehicles with electric formula concepts. The development of an electric formula car has many challenges. Cars not only have to be efficient in fuel consumption but also have to be able to go fast without forgetting the safety aspects and being environmentally friendly.
