Safety innovations and best practices for their development and deployment
Most studies in road safety show that more than 90% of fatal crashes are caused by human driver factors. The most common causes include risky driving behaviors, alertness and impaired driving. Based on data collected through existing vehicle sensors, the Safety-Coach identifies risks through four indicators directly related to the main human driver-related accident causation factors: speed, safety distance, vigilance and risky driving behavior. Each indicator is computed in real time, according to the risks identified by the vehicle's sensors, and displayed to the driver. To improve the driver's behavior, pertinent advice related to taken risks is proposed.
