Patented System
Active Protection to Prevent Multi-Vehicle Pileups
Fog Safe Alert is a cutting-edge, patented emergency beacon system, designed to automatically activate in low-visibility conditions such as fog or heavy rain.
The system detects when the fog lights are on and ABS is triggered by sudden braking. Instantly, the beacons deploy and anchor themselves to the asphalt using a rapid anchoring mechanism, emitting high-intensity visual signals to alert nearby drivers.
Additionally, the beacons act as signal repeaters, transmitting their location to other vehicles equipped with the same system, helping to prevent multi-vehicle pileups and enhancing safety in critical situations.
How does it work?
Quick response in
critical situations
The system is designed to react instantly and autonomously to dangerous road conditions, without the need for manual intervention. It helps prevent accidents and ensures road safety. Here's how it works:
1. Activation
The system constantly monitors the vehicle's status. When the fog lights are on and the ABS detects sudden braking, it activates automatically. Equipped with a small explosive charge similar to those used in airbag systems, it triggers within milliseconds, deploying the articulated arm with the beacon towards the asphalt.
2. Beacon anchoring
Upon contact with the asphalt, the sensor located at the base of the beacon detects the impact and activates the anchoring system. This system consists of a second explosive charge that drives the anchoring nail at high speed, securing the beacon firmly to the pavement. The process occurs extremely quickly and precisely, ensuring the beacon is securely anchored within milliseconds, even in adverse conditions such as wet or slippery surfaces.
3. Retraction motor
The articulated arm automatically retracts into its compartment via an integrated motor on the axle, designed for fast and precise retraction. This motor activates once the beacon is deployed, pulling the arm back after it has completed its function, ensuring the articulated arm is fully stored safely. Upon retraction, the system guarantees no exposed parts that could interfere with driving in situations where no collision occurs.
Smart Beacons
Each beacon incorporates communication technology that allows it to interconnect and coordinate with nearby beacons, issuing early warnings to vehicles equipped with the same system. This provides multiple complementary layers of safety.
Automatic Activation and Energy Autonomy
The beacon instantly activates upon contact with the asphalt, thanks to the contact sensor located on its underside. The beacons are equipped with built-in batteries, enabling autonomous operation and ensuring continuous functionality during an emergency.
Geolocation and Communication Technology
The beacons feature advanced geolocation systems and built-in signal repeaters, allowing them to send alerts to nearby vehicles using the FOG SAFE ALERT system. This communication capability not only enhances safety in the accident area but also facilitates a faster response from other drivers.
Automatic Deactivation in Case of False Alarm
If no accident occurs and the vehicle continues moving, the geolocation system automatically deactivates the beacon once the set safety distance is surpassed. This ensures the beacon remains active only in situations of actual accidents or real risk to nearby drivers.
