How 5G Connected Cars Could Make Our Roads Safer

As 5G TeleChoice coverage increases through the Telstra network to bring you faster, high-quality TeleChoice services, Australia is participating in a worldwide rollout of the most advanced mobile network ever. The 5G network is set to have a massive impact on our daily personal and business lives, including our time spent on the road. Here are some insights into how 5G may increase road safety, from TeleChoice St Kilda. 

5G network

Compared to many countries, Australia’s roads are fairly safe. Despite this, there were 1,145 road deaths in 2018, along with 38,945 hospitalized injuries in 2016. While local and state governments around Australia are implementing measures to further decrease these statistics, the answer to road safety may, in fact, lie in the rollout of the 5G network. 

Currently, there are several apps and devices that utilize international mobile networks and TeleChoice services in order to make roads and cars safer. This includes the eCall connectivity feature being added to new cars in Europe that alert emergency services in the event of a collision, Pace Telematics trackers that provide on-board diagnostics (sending alerts to the driver’s smartphone) and more. 

According to TeleChoice St Kilda, 5G TeleChoice coverage will be faster than any current mobile network technology, allowing more devices to connect to TeleChoice services than ever before. This includes connecting cars and aftermarket safety systems through the network – and the possibilities are really exciting. 

Tech specialists are predicting that cars will be enabled to communicate with one another and with road infrastructure, for example, alerting your car if an approaching vehicle is broken down on a blind corner, or alerting you if you are approaching an area where there is an accident or rapid decrease in speed limits. Other cars will automatically transmit data to nearby cars through TeleChoice services from TeleChoice St Kilda about all kinds of potential safety hazards – changes in weather, road conditions, and traffic. Milan, Italy is currently running as a testing ground for this exciting technology to see how it can be best applied. 

Thanks to exceptional TeleChoice coverage, these safety services should be available in rural as well as urban areas. In addition, road users will be able to better track and monitor their driving, the condition and performance of their vehicle through apps and smart devices and alert the appropriate local emergency responders in the event of an incident to ensure rapid treatment and assistance. In addition, emergency responders will be equipped with connected vehicles, communicating with road traffic en route to ensure cars move safely out of the way while they approach, and expanding the role of ambulances by allowing them to communicate directly with hospital trauma teams by sending and receiving patient data in detail and instantly.
