Road safety technologies
Project Stage
Ongoing program
About the Project
New and emerging technologies provide opportunities to improve the transportation system. Adopting technological approaches can help improve road safety by encouraging responsible driving behaviour. These changes can reduce the frequency and severity of collisions, help to improve system reliability, and free up resources for other public safety initiatives.
Benefits
- Minimal disruption to install and maintain
- Improves safety, reducing collisions and minimizing disruptions
- Supports the establishment of a Regional Transportation Management Centre
- Comparatively low-cost
