HAlmost 600,000 speed violations were reported in Portugal last year. A high number, which, however, is found not only in our country. That is why the European Union wanted to take action and apply in directive 2019/2144 – effective this Wednesday – a commitment for all new vehicles that are sold to be equipped with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
It should be noted that this European Union standard will apply to vehicles of categories M (at least four wheels and carrying passengers) and N (at least four wheels and carrying goods and goods).
The function of this ISA system is to warn the driver of the speed limit in the lane in which he is driving. This will allow the driver to be more aware of the speed at which he is allowed to drive, although this system is for information only. ISA has no intervention features.
“The ISA system can rely on various input methods such as camera surveillance, map data, and machine learning. However, the actual presence of explicit numerical speed limit signs should always take precedence over any other information on board.
Recall that the European body aims to reduce the number of collisions by about 30% and deaths due to road traffic accidents by 20%.
Always be the first to know.
