iDriving Use Case #3: Real-Time Incident Prediction, Detection and Response

Lead: TEKNIKER, AIM

Enhancing Safety on Secondary Roads with iDriving

Secondary roads, often overlooked in traffic management, are frequent sites of dangerous violations, many with severe consequences. Speeding, impaired driving, and risky overtaking are more than just legal infringements—they are serious safety risks that endanger drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. On highways and major roads, where vehicle speeds are naturally higher, these violations dramatically increase the likelihood of severe accidents.

Blind bends add another layer of complexity. Drivers, either rushing or acting recklessly, sometimes attempt to overtake in these high-risk zones, often underestimating the danger. Such actions not only jeopardize their safety but also place oncoming motorists in harm’s way.

Addressing these challenges requires more than traditional surveillance. iDriving introduces an intelligent, real-time monitoring system designed to identify and respond to unsafe behaviors as they occur. By proactively alerting both violators and nearby drivers, iDriving aims to reduce risks and foster a safer road environment for all.

Expected impact: Reduce alcohol-related accidents by 30%, Cut accidents from risky overtakes at blind bends by 30%, Use heatmaps to lower incidents in high-risk zones by 40%, Halve the time to detect incidents or accidents, Identify and improve 50% of high-risk zones, Reach 70% of road users with real-time maintenance updates, Cut emergency response times by 30%.
