Advanced driving technology is one of the most important developments in the automotive industry, aiming to improve the driving experience and increase the level of road safety. These technological technologies offer a set of innovative features that work to provide a more comfortable and safe driving experience for both the driver and passengers. In our topic today, we will list with you some of these technological technologies and their role in providing safety for you and your family.

Traction Control (DSC)

Traction Control (DSC)

The dynamic stability control system relies on a group of sensors, cameras, and measurement systems to monitor the vehicle's movement and the surrounding environment. The system uses the collected data to improve the vehicle's stability while driving, by individually adjusting the force in the wheels to control slip.

The Dynamic Stability Control System aims to automatically control the braking force and engine torque in conjunction with systems such as the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and the Traction Control System (TCS) to prevent side skids while driving on slippery roads, during sudden maneuvers, or to avoid collisions, which leads to improved Total safety of the car.

Emergency automatic braking system

Emergency automatic braking system

The automatic braking system is an important part of advanced safety technology, as the system uses sensors and cameras to monitor vehicles and obstacles on the road. When an existing collision risk is detected, the system alerts the driver to it. If the driver does not respond, the system automatically activates the brakes to avoid the collision or reduce its severity.

Automated/self-driving system

Automated/self-driving system

This system enables the car to drive semi-automatically, as it gives the car the ability to accelerate, decelerate, stop and maneuver automatically without any intervention from the driver. This system relies on a complex and connected set of sensors, cameras and guidance systems to analyze the surrounding environment and make the right decisions.

Lane Departure Warning System LDWS

Lane Departure Warning System LDWS

This system warns the driver when they deviate from their lane without activating the lane change signals. This system is based on analyzing the vehicle's data and its trajectory to determine its location on the road and attempt to maintain its appropriate path. When deviating from the lane, the system issues audio or visual signals on the dashboard to the driver to pay attention again to the road and put the car back in its correct lane.

In general, technological technologies dedicated to improving the driving experience are an important addition to the automotive industry, as they contribute to improving driving safety and user experience. Through the use of sensors, cameras and information systems, these features contribute to a safer and smoother drive. Car manufacturers are still striving to develop more technologies that will take the driving experience to new heights.

UAE Ramadan Accident Pattern Insurance Claims Data Analysis

During the holy month of Ramadan, it is sad to witness hundreds of accidents and dozens of fatalities every year. Ramadan is a very special time and it is all about being with the ones close to you, which creates a lot of traffic! This festive time also brings unique challenges for all traffic participants.

Tokio Marine, one of the largest UAE auto insurers teamed up with RoadSafetyUAE to analyze their 2023 Ramadan motor insurance claims data (22 March to 20 April 2023) to come up with meaningful insights aimed at raising awareness and protecting UAE road users.

Takako Matsuo, Senior Manager Direct Business and Marketing of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd states: “We collect a significant amount of claims data which we thoroughly analyze and we want to share the key findings for the good of the people and society in the UAE. In this instance, we analyzed 1,320 UAE claims data. The Ramadan period poses a specific challenge to UAE road users and we want to contribute from our side to keep everyone safe on the road.”

Thomas Edelmann, Founder & Managing Director of RoadSafetyUAE states: “Tokio Marine is in a great position to share real-life data benefitting UAE road users. It was amazing to team up with the Team at Tokio Marine to jointly analyze their claims data. It takes great commitment from a company to go the extra mile to use their resources to the broader benefit and to raise the awareness for Ramadan specific road safety. UAE motorists need to be especially careful with regards to the behavior of other drivers in Ramadan, as in more than 50% of accidents third party is at fault and in 36% it is shared fault. Between 1 to 4pm most accidents are taking place (35%), followed by the late morning rush hour from 9-12pm (21%). Wednesdays are the most dangerous week days, while the weekends are the safest. Motorists in the age bracket of 30-39 years are most vulnerable, followed by the segment of 40–49 year olds. Accident claims by nationality seem to follow the demographic distribution.”
