AHS (see 2-43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54), which provides drivers with information, warnings, and operational support, should be effective for about 80% of accidents. The system will considerably reduce the number of traffic accident fatalities and injuries.
AHS can provide safe road traffic conditions even for elderly drivers, whose reflexes and adaptability to variable conditions are inevitably weaker.
In addition to these effects of AHS, automatic detection and report of traffic accidents and disasters will facilitate emergency relief activities and enhance safety in cases of such events.
