Unique transparent truck helps minimize traffic accidents

The large trucks are equipped with "transparent" features, which help the driver of the rear vehicles safely pass ahead.

When participating in traffic on the road, drivers of small vehicles must be very miserable when they want to cross large trucks. Trucks or container trucks often occupy a lot of visibility because of their huge size, and they move much slower than other vehicles. In order to save time, the rear vehicles often have to pass in front of large trucks but this is very dangerous.

Many traffic accidents are caused mainly by the passing of vehicles on the road. Because the vision is obscured , many drivers are completely passive when dealing with urgent situations such as a car coming in the opposite direction or bumping into a car in the same direction that is circulating next to the big car. Seeing such problems, Samsung Argentina has a unique idea for its cargo trucks.

Accordingly, on each truck, the company will mount a high-resolution cruise camera in front of the vehicle, the recorded image will be transmitted directly to the big screen mounted behind the door. This makes the truck transparent, the rear vehicles can see through the road ahead, so that it can make a decision to pass the truck safely.

As a technology company, these technological solutions are not too big a problem. The camera is equipped with the latest technology, which helps to transfer high quality images during the day and night. The four screens are assembled into a large screen placed on the back of the car, which can be waterproof and operate in the most efficient way.

This unique idea is quickly embraced by people, including the scientific community and the driver. According to researchers' statistics, one person will die every two hours due to a car accident in Argentina, and this great idea quickly changed the current bad traffic situation.

In 2015, transparent trucks were voted the idea of ​​the year by 25 prestigious magazine experts TIME. Currently Samsung is cooperating with companies, organizations and governments to deploy this model widely. Expected in the future, transparent trucks will appear all over the street to minimize traffic accidents.
