Technical Realisation of Smart Road Safety Systems

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)

Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)

An intelligent road-on-vehicle is technically possible and might lead to a safety enhancing infrastructure. If implementet, it would lead to a safety enhancing infrastructure. A permanent road-to-car communication warns cars of red lights beforehand, offers an in-car countdown to green lights, gets traffic flowing and alerts drivers of stationary vehicles.
