Since an object can be seen at 30 degrees, even light sights the visibility at which the car, in a vision radius, can be an object the approaching visibility, in a vision radius, an object that can be seen at a distance, a compressed object (within a radius of vision) independent, resists winds with gusts of up to 100 km/h).
It is with this signaling tool that the Netun Solutionscompany with Spanish capital, aims to reduce road deaths due to being run over, underlining the danger that a motorist runs every time, in the event of an accident, breakdown or simply a flat tire, he needs to get out of the vehicle to mount the warning triangle.
According to the numbers of ANSR – Highway Safety Authority, 2, about half of the accidents21, recognition between 8 pm and 6 am, and even among those that happen during most of the accidents, as constant to bad. Added to this is the fact that two out of every five deaths from being run over are recorded in nighttime incidents. It is true that there are those who claim that the driver can (and should) always turn on the four turn signals. However, as electrical variables are not to be neglected. In addition, this type of highlighting the brand, a device can be used easily by those who travel by motorcycle or bicycle.
In Spain, where legislation already provides that an approved V16 hazard warning light device, such as the Flash help, from replacement without the triangle signaling (ie: the driver can choose to use only the V16 having to go and place the triangle), from 2026 its will become mandatory. Each device must arrive connected to the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT, with responsibilities similar to the Portuguese ANSR), automatically sending the geolocation whenever activated. Until then, there is still a model that, with the smartphoneputs the driver in contact with the insurance company.
For now, in Portugal, only the simplest product is recommended (price: €29.95), but those responsible for Netun will guarantee to be in conversations with insurance companies so that, soon, devices with Bluetooth will be available. The IoT connected device will have to go through an agreement with the ANSR, with which contacts have already been initiated.
The device, which can be recharged manually or magnetically, is powered by an automatic 9V battery, is not capable of being recharged in 2.5 hours in emergency mode, but does not replace the triangle installation. However, the presence of light, advocates those responsible, will make the operation less risky. The same device also has a white light, which can serve as a flashlight for twice as long.
