- The Introduction: the present
levels of road accidents, injuries and deaths are not
inevitable. But, a significant reduction is only possible if
there are some fundamental changes to the existing system. The same old approach... guarantees
the same old results. New technologies open up a whole range of
possibilities...
|
- The Problems: road accidents
happen for a lot of different reasons... but, over 90% are simply due
to 'driver error'. Sometimes, the 'error' is just a one-off
mistake... but in many cases the 'error' is the inevitable result of a
pattern of high-risk behaviour which has been allowed to develop over
a period of time... which means, it was preventable!
|
- The Philosophy: driver
behaviour may be our biggest problem... but drivers are also our greatest asset...
they have an infinite amount of knowledge and experience. Where
possible... technology should be used to
empowers drivers... rather than simply providing a more
efficient means for the State to monitor, control and punish them.
|
- The Concept: is
a pro-active system... utilizing the power of the Internet...
using
experienced drivers... to identify patterns of high-risk behaviour...
then using a range of strategies to rectify that behaviour, based
on... motivation, deterrents, targeted education, social pressure,
enforcement and finally, when all else fails, punishment.
|
- The Project: aims to further refine
this innovative Concept... develop into a social networking website...
and promote as part of an online, interactive Project... which we
would like our visitors to participate in. Have a read...
form an opinion... discuss the issues... leave a comment... give us your ideas... and help us develop...
