In our ever-evolving world, technology seamlessly integrates into every facet of our lives, including road safety and driving safety. Many cutting-edge technologies are emerging that will revolutionize driving safety by 2024. The paradigm for road safety is about to be redefined by these advances, which range from improved vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity to AI-driven accident prediction systems. The constantly changing state of road safety technology is evidence of the unwavering advancement and dedication to making travel safer for all.

‍

In this blog, let's swiftly explore a selection of the latest technology for road safety set to garner prominence in 2024. 

‍

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

‍

The goal of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology suite is to increase vehicle and driving safety. Several aspects of ADAS that are expected to become more well-known in 2024 include but not limited to:

‍

• A car's speed is adjusted by Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in response to the distance to the car in front of it.
• By warning drivers of possible front-end crashes, Forward Collision Warning (FCW) improves preventive safety measures.
• In order to reduce the likelihood of accidents, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alerts drivers when unintended lane departure occurs.
• To recognize pedestrians, the Pedestrian Detection System (PDS) uses sensors, which enhance pedestrian safety.
• In an emergency, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) automatically applies the brakes to lessen the severity of a crash.
• The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) uses alarms and monitoring to make sure drivers are paying attention.
• Automated parking maneuvers are made easier by Park Assist (PA), which makes parking in tight spaces simpler.
• The Head-Up Display (HUD) reduces driver distraction for enhanced safety awareness by projecting pertinent information onto the windscreen.

Driver Monitoring System

‍

Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) saw a significant rise in 2023, driven by a wave of AI-driven advancements. The pressing need for increased road safety has led to an exponential expansion in the deployment of these systems, which track and analyze driver behavior. 

‍

With a plethora of advanced functions, such as gaze monitoring and fatigue detection, DMS guarantees increased driver focus. The current state of road safety necessitates proactive measures, so it is expected that the massive increase in Driver Monitoring System usage in 2024 will be crucial in reducing accidents and promoting a safer driving environment utilizing intelligent interventions and real-time monitoring.

V2X Technology 

‍

Sensors, cameras, and wireless communication are all part of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, which allows real-time data sharing between cars, pedestrians, and road infrastructure. Vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-pedestrian, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-network interactions are all included in this communication system. Currently, unless they are of the same model, many cars are unable to exchange data. 

‍

But by 2024, things are going to change in this area. Notably, the Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation has launched a $40 million grant opportunity to accelerate the implementation of V2X, highlighting the expected rise in importance and expansion of this technology in the near future.

Intelligent Traffic Management System

‍

The Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) is a leading technology in road safety that is expected to get more recognition in 2024, mostly in developing nations. By utilizing state-of-the-art technology, ITMS integrates many components to enhance road safety. 

‍

• The Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System guarantees accurate identification of vehicles. 
• The Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) System keeps an eye on junctions and automatically corrects infractions. 
• The PA system offers prompt notifications and instruction
• The Speed Violation Detection System improves safety through real-time speed monitoring. 
• The Adaptive Traffic Control System dynamically optimizes traffic flow
• The E-Challan System simplifies the application of penalties. 
• The Centralised Control Command Centre is where all of these components come together to provide a cohesive and integrated strategy for enhancing road safety in the digital era.

‍

Advanced Road Surface Monitoring

‍

Modern sensors are used in advanced road surface monitoring to actively identify and report on the state of road surfaces, serving as a vital safety measure to stop accidents caused by subpar roads. This system gives authorities and drivers access to real-time data by analyzing variables such as potholes, surface imperfections, and weather-induced risks. 

‍

This proactive strategy greatly lowers the likelihood of accidents brought on by deteriorating road conditions and allows for prompt maintenance interventions, guaranteeing smoother and safer travels for all users of the route.
