VOLVO (Future lions)
THE E-LIGHT SYSTEM
Brief: Take safety beyond the car and use modern tech to do so.
Background: Despite a quarter of the traffic, half of the most severe accidents occur at night. Making the darkest hours the most dangerous. In the event of an accident, a physical warning triangle is to be placed on the ground. A warning difficult to perceive during the day, and even more so at night. Leading to more severe accidents than the original one.
Solution: Therefore Volvo reinvents the warning triangle, lifting it off the ground. The E-Light System is the first emergency system using streetlights to detect accidents and signal other drivers. Ensuring safer roads and safer nights - for the security of all lives.
