Sukabumi Regency, like other regions in Indonesia, has experienced a significant increase in the number of motorcyclists and traffic due to rapid industrial development. However, this growth has led to an increased risk of accidents, particularly in the 'blacksite' areas around the Sukabumi-Sagaranten Road, which is the focus of this research. The rise in traffic in Sukabumi Regency has serious implications for the 'blacksite' areas, which have a high record of fatal accidents. The primary factors contributing to these accidents include damaged road infrastructure, inadequate lighting, and limited access to healthcare services and local authorities. Poor road conditions and inadequate lighting create a high-risk environment for riders. Limited access to hospitals and authorities increases the risk of fatal injuries. Additionally, limited mobile phone signals hinder the ability to call for help and communicate. This research focuses on designing innovative products as a solution to improve safety and response in accidents. It is hoped that this research will make a significant contribution to enhancing traffic safety in the 'blacksite' areas of Sukabumi. The innovative products developed are expected to help create a safer and more responsive traffic environment in this region.
