In 2017, Direct Line partnered with technology companies, transport experts, phycologists and city councils to pioneer a new, dynamic pedestrian crossing that responds to potential danger and hazards in real-time, to help prevent more accidents from happening, rather than just cover them when they do.
On the 5th October installed the worlds first responsive road in a controlled studio environment in London, to put our prototype to the test. A series of real-life scenarios were acted out on the road, using real people and vehicles.
Following the launch, Direct Line will continue to work with local authorities and transport agencies across the UK to find more ways The Smart Crossing could help make our urban environments safer in the real world.
