How many times has it happened to drive behind a truck with a trailer and may not be able to overtaking, because you can not see the vehicles in front of the truck? The Korean company wants to roll out a line of ‘Samsung Safety Truck’ after being inspired to reduce the high number of traffic accidents in Argentina that occur on one-lane roads in overtaking situations.
Samsung is hoping to implement a new technology that will save the lives of drivers who get impatient.
The safety vehicles will have wireless cameras attached to their fronts to capture the road ahead. Samsung has developed a solution that may make the problem of overtaking a truck on a single lane road a thing of the past. The system uses a camera that is located in the front bumper, and the picture is transmitted to the four large screens on the back of the trailer. The images from the cameras will broadcast to a video wall made of four video monitors located on the back of the truck.
Those monitors will ‘give drivers behind the truck a view of what is going on ahead, even in the dark of night,’ according to the company. Samsung tested a prototype of the truck with a business-to-business client, but the test model is no longer operational. Sounds interesting, right? Below is the video in which you can see in detail the operation of the above system.
Samsung in Argentina presented a very interesting solution, which should increase the safety of local roads.
