In our contemporary world, where concerns over road safety and sustainable transportation have assumed paramount importance, the imperative for action cannot be overstated. The sobering statistics underscore the urgency of our mission: annually, road traffic accidents claim over 1.35 million lives and inflict approximately 50 million injuries on a global scale. The transport sector is also a contributor to climate change, accounting for about 23 percent of global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These stark figures underscore the pressing need for effective solutions that cohesively address both the safety and environmental concerns of transportation.
