如果你是一名普通的汽车司机,你知道当你在红绿灯前听到救护车的警报声时,它是从哪个方向来的?大家都注意到了吗?当紧急救援车辆安全通过时,人们松了一口气。然而我们有理由担心,因为救护车发生车祸的可能性是普通救护车的三倍。更糟的是,80%的事故发生在接病人之后。考虑到这一点,紧急交通系统将交通当局与紧急服务无缝地结合在一起。每辆救护车或消防车的位置和路线都是通过GPS实时跟踪的,这样就可以协调交通信号灯,提供最安全、最直接的进出现场的路径。此外,交通信号上的一个信息和视觉指示器可以让每天的司机知道一辆紧急车辆正在接近,这样他们就可以在小心驾驶之前保持高度的警觉性。
If you’re a regular car driver, you know that cringe-inducing moment when you’re at a traffic light and hear ambulance sirens. Which direction is it coming from? Is everyone paying attention? Followed by the sigh of relief once the emergency vehicles have passed safely. However, there’s a good reason to worry. Ambulances are three times more likely to be in a car accident. Even worse, 80% of those accident occur after picking up the patient.Designed with this in mind, the Emergency Traffic System seamlessly marries traffic authority with emergency services. The location and route of each ambulance or firetruck is tracked via GPS in real time so that traffic lights can be coordinated to provide the safest and most direct path to and from the scene. Furthermore, a message and visual indicator on the traffic signal lets everyday drivers know that an emergency vehicle is approaching so they can maintain heightened awareness before proceeding with caution.Designers: Taekkyung Lee & JunYoung IM
