Driver distraction is an increasing concern for the road safety sector. According to the FIA Region 2 (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile), a distraction time of just two seconds is sufficient to cause a crash. The FIA’s data suggests that to 25% of road crashes are due to distraction, with 25-30% of total driving time spent on distracting activities.
Commissioner Bulc, European Commissioner for Transport, recently warned against distraction caused by the use of mobile phone. She said, “Distraction
A UK highway project has benefited from the latest software, GIS and GPS technology, Mike Woof reports. Sophisticated software, GIS and GPS technology has played an important role in a large highway upgrade project in the UK and helping to increase efficiency and drive down construction costs.
