The first “smart roads” may appear in Russia

9

Transport routes, which in real time will be able to warn drivers about the need to give up the lane to an ambulance, about pedestrians approaching, and also recommend the speed at which the car will always "go to green", have long not seemed to be an invention of science fiction writers. Moreover, such “smart roads” may appear in Russia in the next 2-3 years.

The project implemented by NP Glonass and STI Avtonet within the framework of the Avtodata platform will be based on technology V2X. The latter involves the continuous exchange of data between vehicles and road infrastructure.



So, for example, road users will be able to automatically signal each other about unsafe reduction of distance, which will reduce the number of emergencies. In addition, the “smart road” will be able to recommend the driver a speed, moving at which he will constantly “catch green” at traffic lights and thereby save fuel. And this is far from the limit of the project.

It should be noted that testing of such a system has already passed in Samara. As part of the tests, motorists received alerts that they needed to slow down when driving past schools, about pedestrians crossing the road, and about ongoing repairs.

According to the developers, “smart roads” will be able to reduce the number of accidents by at least 20%. At the same time, to take full advantage of the system, motorists will not have to buy and install additional equipment. All messages and recommendations will come in a special application on the smartphone.

      I think you laugh in vain. No, laughing, of course, is useful, but the appearance of an experimental site is quite possible. I don’t see any fiction in this. By the way, I do not know about you, the quality of the roads suits me. hi

        Each person must first of all think about the society in which he lives, and only then about himself. If your roads are good, this does not mean that they are good everywhere.

          Quite right, but this does not mean that the roads everywhere are the same as this particular road in the Vologda Oblast. I think it's not worth drawing conclusions about a person's place in society. Somewhere the roads are better, somewhere worse, it happens, this is life, this will not affect the construction of an experimental section of the "smart road". I doubt that they will first conduct an audit of the entire road network and only after the complete elimination of the shortcomings will they consider it possible to build something new. hi

            Of course not, there is much worse.

            To draw conclusions from this about a person’s place in society, I think, is not worth it.

            I made conclusions after you wrote that the quality of roads suits me. It seems like I’m lucky where I live - the roads are excellent. But they are far from being excellent everywhere in our country. So I wrote that you need to think about the whole society where we live, and not just about ourselves.

              I mean, the roads that I see suit me, on this basis, and concluded. Let me remind you:

              I don’t know about you, the quality of roads suits me

              I have not been to Vologda, I did not specifically track information about the "killed" roads. Accordingly, if you have different information, then the opinion is different. This is normal. hi

    Here is the money for all sorts of crazy projects, even experimental ones, they find. To lay gas to Europe, Turkey, at your own expense - yes, PLEASE! Yes, YOU first make roads everywhere, spend gas for people, as for Europe and Turkey !! And then smart roads, master the moon and Mars !!
    The budget of Russia in 2015 - 15,4 trillion rubles.
    The budget of Russia 2019 - about 18 trillion rubles
    When does the AUTHORITY AWAY?

    Maybe it’s better to order Hyperlup right away from Ilon.
    True, Ukrainians ordered from Kiev to Odessa. Will wait. And for smart roads, where are smart drivers to find?

      The road and the car will think for us! Like in the Soviet cartoon:

      Quote: m / f Vovka in the distant kingdom
      “Are you going to bend your fingers for me?”
      - Aha!
