New Active Light-Emitting Warning Guidance System

Abstract:

Drivers driving safety on the highway is one of the important researches about the national road traffic safety, and how to reduce the high incidence of special sections accidents has always been the primary task of the research. When driving on the highway at night or in bad weather, drivers vision will be limited because of the poor light conditions and their recognition and perceptual speed of the road distance will be reduced, which will easily lead to major accidents. In order to solve this problem, the article introduces a new active light-emitting warning and guidance system which can automatically identify the field environment. After electrified, each grid will automatically set up the wireless network, and create a series of dynamic warning effects. It has been proved by field experiments that the developed system could stay in sleep mode during the day, and would be woken up at night or in rainy and foggy weather and automatically warned and guided the drivers driving on the road. The system will effectively enhance the drivers vision and reduce the accident probability.
