The EU aims to bring speed limiting technology to all cars in the near future

The European Union is carefully considering the enactment of a law that requires all personal cars, passenger cars and trucks to be equipped with speed limit technology and also data recorders. Data to save information about accident cases (similar to black boxes on aircraft).

It is known that this is likely to be one of the mandatory safety features for road vehicles in Europe, mentioned in a temporary agreement announced on Wednesday 27 March by the commissioner. EU executive board.

More specifically, this safety deal package will force vehicles to own the so-called 'smart speed assist device', which can identify vehicle speed limits by using the system. map system, and at the same time help the driver observe and recognize the speed of danger by directly interfering with engine power. However, in case the driver is fully alert, manages the situation and has a good reason to exceed the speed limit, he or she can still force the system to follow its decision by stepping stronger. on the gas pedal, this is the new point of the rule this time, while in the previous draft law, the speed limit system will not be exceeded, leading to many ideas that this is unreasonable. in some specific situations, especially in emergencies.

In addition, this integrated data logging device can also limit the speed to which the driver registers beforehand.

'Every year, more than 25,000 people die from traffic accidents in Europe, which is too large and unacceptable. We can and must act to change the situation, 'said Elzbieta Bienkowska, European Commissioner responsible for the internal market and transportation.

The European Commission, the EU's supreme executive body consisting of 28 countries, said it expected that from 2022, speed-limiting features and technologies would require installation across all directions. convenient traffic on the European road system.

Besides speed limits, other safety features will include a system to help alert drivers when they show drowsiness, and limit distractions while driving like using a phone. smart or listen to music too loud. In addition, cameras and sensors will also be mandatory 'toys' to limit unfortunate accidents that occur in many situations that can be completely avoided, such as bumps during a reversal. , help to keep the right lane as well as ensure a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

For cars and trucks, the law is likely to require these vehicles to be equipped with intelligent emergency braking systems, which can automatically detect obstacles and activate brake pads when the driver can't react. In addition, another safety system will be required to help bus and truck drivers avoid situations of collisions with bicyclists and pedestrians when they accidentally enter the blind spot of Large vehicles of this size. The German Ministry of Transport conducted a practical test and found that the blind spot sensor system can help minimize unfortunate accidents between trucks with cyclists and walkers, though In fact, the standard mirror system is equipped on trucks and buses in Europe and it has been able to control blind spot quite well.

In fact, most of the above technologies have also been equipped on many new models, but most of them are in the luxury segment with relatively high prices of well-known manufacturers of safety technology. on cars like Volvo, Audi, or MAN. However, this new law will make the safety equipment mentioned above be applied on both low-cost models as well as in all segments.

In a related move, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) welcomed the EU's new draft, but the agency also said in addition to safety technology for cars and facilities. Road infrastructure also needs to be additionally invested, upgraded, and at the same time managers should also take stronger measures to encourage safe driving behavior.

"This challenging law will undoubtedly be a tool to further improve the efficiency of the road safety situation in Europe - which all automakers are fully committed to. However, it is not enough to focus only on each of the technologies on the means, to maximize efficiency, policy makers need to take appropriate approaches as well as be fully involved with all factors affecting road safety, such as combining vehicle technology with more modern road infrastructure and at the same time both educating, raising awareness or even giving strictly enforce sanctions to encourage safe driving behavior, 'said ACEA secretary general Erik Jonnaert.

In addition, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association also warned that smart speed limit support technology should only be introduced gradually. The cause of this technology has previously been hampered by too many problems from constituent systems such as non-standard maps or the ability to display poor warning signs.

Road safety measures have been announced on Wednesday 27 March, and are also agreed upon in many negotiations between governments of European countries, committees and European parliament. In addition, this contingency political agreement must also receive official approval from the European Parliament and EU leaders before it can be widely adopted.
