You are traveling on the highway getting back home, listening to your favorite hit and everything seems to go well as usual. What is not usual is the danger next door. A car, in fact, is traveling the wrong way on the section of the motorway you are currently on. The driver of the car manages to change lane and avoid the impact, but what about who comes next?
Unfortunately, this is not an unlikely scenario, but we can give you some advice in case it happens to you: the wrong way drivers usually travel on the right side (or left side for some countries), which means in the fast lane. This is why when you read the message on the display: "wrong way driver", it is advisable to keep the right lane (or left lane for some countries). Do not overtake; if possible, take the nearest exit, use the nearest car park, or rest area. Once safe, call the emergency number and wait for the all-clear.
However, we at Comark do not want to read anymore about cars taking the wrong directions and this is why our team has designed and developed the sensor that prevents it; detecting immediately the vehicle from entering the ring road or motorway in the wrong way and experiencing the scenario above. Not only! We also take care of the people that is travelling on the correct way on their way home as our story’s protagonist.
The sensor MD01 detects in real time:
- Detect the wrong-way vehicle and activate the LED displays to stop the driver;
- The LED displays starts to blink and flash in order to catch driver’s attention;
- If the driver is careless, a second sensor detects the vehicle that did not stop and sends an alert to the traffic management centre;
- This system also informs other vehicles travelling on the motorway or ring road about the danger by sending a message to the traffic management centre. The alert message is immediately displayed in the LED displays. The police are also promptly informed about the danger.
