More than 63000 people died in traffic accidents in 2018, which may look like not too big, but I made a comparison. The death toll of Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 was 69000, that is to say, the death toll caused by traffic accidents every year is comparable to a Wenchuan earthquake.
Today I will introduce a smart traffic safety product---
Solar cat eyes road studs.
We have always emphasized the intellectualization of vehicles, but to some extent, we have neglected the intellectualization of roads, which is closely related to the high number of fatalities in traffic accidents. I think the correct
application of solar cat eyes road studs can reduce this number, protect pedestrian safety, and improve road safety and intelligence.
In 2013, there was a traffic accident on gaolang road in Wuxi. In a short period of one and a half minutes, nearly 20 vehicles collided in tandem. The reason is that a car broke down suddenly, and the sight line on the viaduct is not good, and it is snowy, braking is insufficient, and the friction coefficient is reduced, resulting in rear end collision.
Now there is a slogan in the field of intelligent transportation, which I think is very good, that is, smart cars and smart roads. We have been emphasizing that intelligent cars are not enough. We should have intelligence on the road with
solar cat eye road studs. The case of Wuxi shows that the car does not know the condition of the road, how slippery the road is, and the change of braking distance. And this is a curve, now all automatic driving technology, are mainly linear detection, also need to consider the problem of curve.
Therefore, the
installation of solar cat eye road studs, especially in places with poor road conditions and poor visibility, must be put on the agenda. Solar cat eye road studs have been shown to enhance safety and be a more sustainable and economical method of delineation during night-time hours or inclement weather conditions.
