Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of urban traffic safety, and more particularly to an intelligent safety induction system for a plane intersection taking into account a blind spot of the inner wheel difference of a truck. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the rise in car ownership, the number of accidents caused by collisions between people and vehicles on urban roads is increasing. Intersections are a frequent site of traffic accidents. Large trucks, due to blind spots and "inner wheel gaps," are highly susceptible to colliding with vehicles on the right or pedestrians, even running over them when turning right, resulting in serious accidents. To effectively prevent and reduce accidents caused by inner wheel gaps and blind spots, many cities around the world have designed "right-turn danger zones" or "green non-motorized vehicle lanes" at intersections. These designations serve to warn pedestrians of dangerous areas, help pedestrians identify their right of way, and reduce traffic risks at intersections. Summary of the Invention
