Correct Your Driving

This article discusses about a new device that will be developed soon to provide immediate feedback help drivers modify their driving to make it more safer.

Many drivers unintentionally pollute the atmosphere with their inefficient driving. For all such drivers, a new device is being designed which will tell them how to correct their driving so as to make it more efficient and pollution-free.

This device is being developed by a team led by Brunel University in the UK along with Sussex Police Authority, the Institute for Advanced Motorists, Transport for London, Nissan and TRW Conekt.

The aim of this project is to bring changes in the driver behavior over a period of time. Using this device regularly will help drivers modify their driving styles to minimize sudden breaking and sudden acceleration actions. By doing so, pollution from traffic will be reduced and driving will become safer.

The device will give immediate feedback to the driver on his display panel. Data can also be collected by the sensors and be reviewed after the journey.

The team will review different driving styles which are fuel-efficient and also safe. A prototype model of the device will be developed and put for testing in real driving conditions.

This device can prove extremely beneficial given that the number of accidents have been increasing rapidly in the recent days. And then, there is also the issue of green house gas emissions and global warming.

By making the drivers switch to a more efficient method of driving, the researchers believe that they can reduce congestion on roads and also reduce anxiety during driving. This project is scheduled to start in July and will involve a number of partners playing different roles in its completion.
