PUBLIC SAFETY APPLICATIONS
GOAL IS TO REDUCE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, RESULTING IN:
| FEWER INJURIES AND FATALITIES | |||
| LOWER DIRECT AND INDIRECT FINANCIAL COSTS | |||
| REDUCED TRAFFIC CONGESTION |
The overall goal of a Public Safety application is to reduce accidents. Such reduction has many benefits beyond the obvious saving of lives. Even a non-injury accident can significantly increase traffic congestion and result in significant cost, not only to those involved, but also to society as a whole such as through the increased demands on public services.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES ARE:
| FORWARD OBSTACLE DETECTION AND AVOIDANCE | ||||
| LANE DEPARTURE WARNING | ||||
| TURN ACCIDENT WARNINGS | ||||
| INTERSECTION COLLISION WARNING | ||||
| AUTOMATED, VARIABLE MESSAGE SIGNS |
