New technology could improve safety at intersections by up to 80%. The innovative vehicle and infrastructure technology being developed in the European INTERSAFE-2 research project is targeting known issues of road safety at intersections.

Four systems giving assistance to drivers for right turns, left turns, intersections and addressing give way situations could make major reductions in accidents. Sensor technology installed in vehicles and at intersections relay messages and help boost safety. Finnish research institute7108 VTT has also been developing a roadside system that measures the friction of the road surface as well as a system to combine all the sensor data for vehicles approaching a junction.
