USE CASE: Preventing rear-end collisions by enhancing road intersection safety

Rear-end collisions are a major road safety problem, particularly at intersections with traffic lights. Using swarm intelligence, Aalto University and Conveqs Oy are introducing a new approach to tackle the problem through connected and cooperative traffic management that deploys the technologies provided by the SmartEdge project. It has been measured that around 30% of accidents at intersections with traffic lights are rear-end collisions. The dangerous moment comes when the green
