A new control mechanism is being implemented for drivers who violate traffic rules. Thanks to the "black boxes" installed at traffic lights, the causes of accidents will be determined more accurately, and the fight against violations will be intensified.
According to Milli.Az, although this technology is primarily being tested in Europe, it is expected to spread globally in a short time. These sensor and camera systems integrated into traffic lights function similarly to the black boxes in airplanes.
What is the purpose of the traffic light "black box"?
These devices not only record those who run red lights but also store the movement dynamics in the area second by second:
When an accident occurs, the "black box" provides all the information a few seconds before and after the collision (speed, braking distance, light color).
The system can use artificial intelligence to predict potential dangers in advance and reduce the risk of accidents.
In court and insurance processes, it unequivocally reveals who is at fault.
With this new system, excuses such as "the light was yellow when I passed" or "the road was empty" will no longer be valid.
Violations are automatically transmitted to the central system and fines are imposed within seconds.
These boxes can also measure the intensity of traffic jams and adjust the duration of traffic lights in real time.
This information will only be used by law enforcement agencies in the event of an accident or serious violation. The goal is not to monitor drivers but to minimize the number of fatal incidents on the roads.
