Highway accident information to be available faster via navigation systems
Published
From now on, when an accident occurs on a highway, drivers will be able to receive faster and more accurate information through their navigation systems. This is because three major domestic navigation companies recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Expressway Corporation.
Under this agreement, real-time traffic information and accident situations on highways held by the Korea Expressway Corporation will be immediately transmitted to navigation companies. As the speed of information delivery increases compared to the past, drivers are expected to be able to identify accident locations in advance and safely detour.
Navigation companies plan to use this data to more clearly mark accident-prone sections on maps and provide warnings to drivers through voice guidance. This is expected to be a significant help in preventing secondary accidents that can occur on highways.
The Korea Expressway Corporation and the navigation companies stated that they will continue their technical cooperation to provide a safer driving environment for drivers. This measure is expected to serve as an important opportunity to enhance highway traffic safety.
