Future of traffic safety and the role of ITS
Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have become essential in today’s era and will be core in the upcoming years, as well as in traffic safety systems. Indications of this technology are beginning to appear in what is known as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as it has an effective role in traffic safety systems development.
Because Saudi Arabia seeks to keep up with developments, it is interested in providing developed traffic safety systems by integrating some innovative systems and technologies (ITS) that not only control traffic but also provide traffic safety.
We will explain below:
- The role of ITS in developing traffic safety systems.
- Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 in traffic and road safety.
- Latest developed Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
- Shawahid Company’s contribution to this field.
The role of ITS in developing traffic safety systems
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) add communications technology and information to transport infrastructures and vehicles to improve traffic safety, efficiency, and quality. In addition, ITS are considered vital to solving the problem of congestion in cities by improving the flow of vehicles and enhancing traffic safety, as these ITS are used to improve traffic safety systems, Crash Cushion is one of these systems.
Crash Cushion It is a shock absorption system that consists of several internal cushions and jointed parts that absorb the shock without injuring the driver and with minimal damage to the vehicle. The front part of the system has been developed so that its edges are not sharp and do not cause any danger to the driver.
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can be installed in this system, where a chip can be placed to follow the work of the system and the time of the accident to issue signals and information about the location and time of the accident to change the route of vehicles and avoid disrupting traffic or affecting traffic safety.
Thanks to the Internet of Things, which integrates artificial intelligence, wireless technologies, cloud computing, and infrastructure, all of which can be connected to vehicles.
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 in traffic safety
Saudi Arabia is working to be ready by 2030 to shift to a smart city system by deploying pioneering technologies that will not only improve mobility but also increase the efficiency of traffic and reduce environmental impact while connecting people in new ways.
These cities offer new expectations for quality of life through infrastructure development, improved public services, and traffic safety. ITS plays a vital role in realizing this vision as they are involved in the development of traffic safety systems.
- In the long run, ITS aims to reduce crowding and environmental pollution levels.
- It helps increase traffic safety by reducing road accidents and facilitating traffic flow.
- Increase efficiency and reduce costs.
- Providing accurate vehicle traffic information and rapid response to emergencies.
- Increase long-term sustainability.
Latest developed Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Smart traffic lights are one of the most important examples of ITS. Traffic lights have been developed to make intersections and roads safer using video cameras, AI, and sensors. Therefore, Shawahid worked on developing traffic lights and linking them to luminous tiles that are linked to GPS devices, where there is compatibility between the signal and crosswalks, as it works on the Linux operating system and is equipped to connect it to fiber optic cables and an Internet network when the traffic light is red, the crosswalk is illuminated in white to indicate that people can cross, and the opposite, when the traffic light is green, the crosswalk is illuminated in red to indicate that people cannot cross, and so on.
The unit is characterized by its ability to automatically restart itself when the operating system goes out of sync
