Large means of road transport are part, like cars, motorbikes or bicycles for example, of the entire ‘vehicle’ fleet that our society has at its disposal: with clear and evident differences.
By type of use, by structure and volume, for strength and also in terms of danger it is clear that it is a large means of transport differentiated from all the others.
The risks that can, for example, arise from a car accident that it could concern, for example, a citizen on foot and a large vehicle are evident, before everyone’s eyes.
If recent statistics have brought to attention of all the severity, for example of a collision between pedestrians and SUVs, one can only imagine that between pedestrians and heavy vehicles.
Trucks, lorries, but also buses and trams have a volume that, from this point of view, is frightening: to try to partially resolve the problem, however, the technology.
Pedestrian, this is how you save yourself if a truck hits you
Of course, no one dreams of being hit by a truck, tram or bus: but today a new technology arrives which, unfortunately, if this ever happens, allows us to greatly limit the damage, and to to survive the person invested. So many human lives saved in this way? This is what we hope for after the arrival of this solution which comes directly from Swiss.
A new technology that public transport companies are experimenting with a sort of airbag saves pedestrians. A true innovation, which is trying to make its way onto the road scene. How do these airbags work? It’s actually quite simple: they activate just before one collisionensuring protection for minimize potential damage dto accident.
This is how the new pedestrian-saving airbag works
A rescue facility that works through gods sensors placed at the cockpit, capable of detecting anomalies and taking action in this sense in real time. With an initial phase of experimentation and new implementations, the project aims to make the journey of public transport, in particular trams and buses, safer, guaranteeing pedestrians maximum protection.
At the same time, also guaranteeing continuity of service a who is on board, within the limits, obviously, of the dynamics of any accidents and the consequences that may arise. It is clear that this type of innovation, thought of on a large scale, could be also adopted by trucks and lorries.
