Turning Radius Triangles

The Red Hazard Device Projects the Path of Moving Trucks

— July 11, 2012 — Autos
For those who have not quite mastered the necessary distance kept between themselves and turning 18-wheelers, the Red Hazard device could save a life. Shaped like the recognizable warning symbol, this triangular contraption emits a bright beam of light to indicate the trajectory of a large cargo vehicle.

Installed on both sides of a tractor trailer, the road safety lamp casts a radiant red block onto the asphalt that will accurately cover the area crossed by the swinging rear of a rig. With this in place as the truck makes its right or left turn, both pedestrians and motorists will be informed of the cautious separation necessary. Designed by YanTing Chen, Lin Hung-Jung and Chao Shao-Lun, the Red Hazard will reduce avoidable road accidents.
Trend Themes
1. Road Safety - The Red Hazard device demonstrates the trend of using innovative technology to improve road safety by projecting the path of moving trucks.
2. Visual Warning Systems - The implementation of Red Hazard highlights the trend of utilizing visual warning systems to alert pedestrians and drivers of potential hazards.
3. Enhancing Traffic Awareness - The Red Hazard device aligns with the trend of developing solutions that increase awareness among pedestrians and motorists about the actions of large cargo vehicles.
Industry Implications

2. Transportation - The transportation industry can benefit from incorporating visual warning systems like Red Hazard to minimize accidents and improve overall road safety.
