Wrong-way driving is one of the deadliest road hazards. Globally, road traffic injuries cause over 1.19 million deaths per year, and wrong-way incidents contribute a significant share. In the U.S. alone, wrong-way crashes on highways caused nearly 4,000 deaths between 2010 and 2018, with alcohol being a major factor. Most fatal cases occur at night, and drivers aged 20–39 are disproportionately involved.
Why Wrong-Way Detection is Critical
Early detection is essential to prevent collisions. Drivers going the wrong way often have mere seconds to react, making proactive detection systems crucial.
