Did You Know? The world’s first electric traffic signal was installed on the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 5th, 1914. This innovation was crucial in managing the growing number of vehicles on the road and has evolved into the complex traffic signal systems we have today. Interestingly, the first center painted dividing line appeared in 1911 in Michigan, and the first “No Left Turn” sign debuted in Buffalo, New York, in 1916. Additionally, left-hand drive became standard in American cars in 19081. Cars have come a long way since then, with advancements in technology and safety transforming how we navigate the roads. It’s fascinating to see how these early developments have shaped modern transportation. #WayBackWednesday #TechEvolution #DidYouKnow

We are proud to host “America’s smartest highway” right here in Michigan! As this Axios article from Joann Muller leads off, “a three-mile stretch of I-94 in Michigan offers a glimpse of America's future highways, with tech-enabled lanes for connected and automated vehicles that could one day let drivers sit back and relax.” Enhanced technology in these roads will alert drivers of any obstacles, weather issues, road problems (hello, potholes) and more. And as the first road of its kind, Michigan remains on the innovative edge of mobility and connected vehicle technology. https://lnkd.in/eu8R7GiU

CATL has unveiled its Bedrock chassis, focussing on the highest safety standards for electric vehicles (EVs). Featuring cell-to-chassis integration, the new chassis directly incorporates battery cells into its structure, enabling shared design and exceptionally high energy absorption. The Bedrock is capable of withstanding 120 km/h (74.5 mph) frontal pole impacts without catching fire, exploding, or experiencing thermal runaway, absorbing 85% of collision energy — far surpassing traditional chassis designs that absorb approximately 60%.

Are you tired of us talking about our headlights? 🤨 No? Good, because neither are we! 😁 The FireTech headlights have 3 different light outputs that will help you get where you need to be safely. The high beam LEDs push light to surprising distances by utilizing long range IRIS Reflector technology while the low beam LED reflector was engineered to produce a wide beam pattern to cover the entire roadway. They also have a halo ring park lamp that illuminates just the outside perimeter for both conspicuity as well as low level scene light – this is a game-changer while working on the front bumper. The best part? Each beam is precisely positioned to keep light from impairing on-coming driver’s vision. The two elliptical beam LEDs in each headlight are aimed to cascade in front of and to the sides of the vehicle, increasing safety while driving and on-scene. FireTech headlights are a direct replacement for most of the stock headlights options found on today’s apparatus so if your truck is in need of a headlight upgrade then these are the headlights for you!

According to experts LED headlights on newer vehicles are brighter, smaller and bluer than previous generations which can create an uncomfortable glare for drivers. "It really is quite debilitating and it's a big distractor," said KITE staff scientist Dr. Bruce Haycock. "[It's] very hard to see the world around those oncoming headlights because it's such a huge contrast with the really bright lights compared with the very dimly lit areas around that." Dr. Haycock discusses how better headlight, vehicle roadway and lighting designs can solve this issue on CBC/Radio-Canada's The National: https://bit.ly/3WcwNor #driving #roadsafety #research #LED #cars #vision University Health Network Research at UHN Milos R.
