From improving driver awareness to streamlining traffic flow, connected car technology and road lighting will have a significant impact on the quality of transportation and the safety of drivers and pedestrians. A senior marketing manager introduced the current status and future of car networking, as well as the role of road lighting.
What is networking car technology?
Connected car technology enables connected wireless communications between cars, system infrastructures and personal communication devices, with high security and interoperability. Some of the most advanced crash technologies in the car today include on-board sensors, cameras and radar applications. These techniques alert drivers to imminent danger so that drivers can take corrective action or the system can even intervene on their own.
How will networking lighting technology continue to change our path?
Traffic lights, street signs, and even reminders on construction sites will soon become part of the networked ecosystem, providing and receiving information to make driving easier.
All traffic lights have different timings. Drivers sometimes do not understand whether traffic lights can pass the yellow light before they can be diverted or whether the turn signal is activated or not. However, drivers can make safer decisions when traffic lights communicate with the car.
