Tech Solutions: Overcome Accidents with Innovation
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication:
Mandated by 2026 – Cars "talk" wirelessly to alert on collisions (could cut accidents by 50-80%).
Advanced Emergency Braking (AEBS):
Auto-brakes in emergencies; mandated for heavy vehicles from 2027.
Impaired Driving Detection:
Infrared/vision sensors in steering wheels detect alcohol/drowsiness.
AI Cameras & ADAS:
Driver assistance for lane-keeping, speed control; smart traffic systems.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC):
Prevents skids/overturns in trucks/buses.
Smart Infrastructure:
IoT sensors for real-time hazard alerts, better signage via apps.
