Artificial Intelligence Already Predicts Collisions Before They Happen: New Technology in Cars Promises to Save Lives. Brazilian System Reaches Up to 94% Accuracy in Accident Prediction and Could Transform Road Safety.

A research developed in Paraná promises to change the future of road safety in Brazil. Scientists from PUC-PR and UTFPR created a system based on artificial intelligence that anticipates traffic accidents with up to 94% accuracy. The solution, referred to as new technology in cars, could serve as a basis for public policies, safer infrastructure, and even embedded devices in vehicles.

The study analyzes road patterns, driver profiles, and environmental factors to predict the risk of collisions before they even happen. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), Brazil ranks third among countries with the highest traffic fatalities, and in 2024 alone, over 6 thousand people lost their lives on federal highways. This innovation could represent a tipping point.

How Artificial Intelligence Identifies Risks

The project uses data mining algorithms to process historical accident information in Paraná, divided into two periods: 2004 to 2013 and 2019 to 2024. Among the tools applied, the CBA (Classification Based on Associations) software stands out, capable of creating association rules to predict when and where an accident might occur.

Main Risk Factors on Highways

The research pointed out the elements that most contribute to the frequency of accidents, such as the presence of additional lanes, greater terrain sinuosity, and permissive signage for overtaking. In terms of severity, factors such as the presence of urban perimeters, poor lighting, and speeding weigh heavily.

In the case of the new technology in cars, artificial intelligence can correlate these factors in real-time, offering alerts that can be integrated into onboard systems or public management platforms.

Accuracy and Application Potential

With accuracy above 90%, reaching 94% in some scenarios, the methodology can be applied on a national scale. This means that different cities and states could use the models to adjust speed limits, install safety devices, and even guide traffic during higher risk periods.

According to researcher Gabriel Troyan Rodrigues, the proposal allows for the identification of recurring patterns that explain the causes of accidents, while professor Fábio Teodoro de Souza emphasizes that the replication of the method is feasible in various urban and highway contexts.

Artificial Intelligence and Public Management: A Necessary Partnership

With over 3.5 thousand daily deaths in accidents worldwide, according to the WHO, the use of AI in road safety is no longer an option, but an urgent need. Integrating this type of solution into public management could mean fewer tragedies, more efficiency in traffic, and a leap in mobility quality.

The research shows that, with well-structured data and advanced technology, it is possible to transform traffic into a safer system, preventing deaths and reducing social and economic costs.

And you? Do you believe that this new technology in cars can really reduce the number of accidents in Brazil? How should it be implemented to work effectively? Share your opinion in the comments.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Brazil put electric vehicles on the streets, but now it’s testing a solution for the side effect: used batteries from BYD buses can gain an additional 5 to 10 years of second life by storing solar energy at Unicamp after 500 cells are analyzed by CPQD.

After fighting for 25 years to open one of the largest gold mines in Europe, a Canadian mining company loses a $4.4 billion dispute against Romania due to a historic village, environmental protests, and Roman galleries protected by UNESCO.

Labor shortage: even with an average salary of R$ 8,700, the profession faces a shortage of 359 workers in Brazil and helps explain why radiotherapy is still hindered in cancer treatment in the SUS.

Teams were excavating the port area of Rio for a modern construction when they found, under layers of landfill, a stone wharf buried for 168 years: the 1811 structure became a World Heritage Site and revealed the most important material vestige of the arrival of enslaved Africans to the Americas.
