<p>There are described a real-time drive assistance system and method. The system proposes a centralized architecture capable of determining and preventing, in real time, potentially dangerous road situations, increasing road safety. The system is based on a communication network obtained through specific portable mobile communication devices (16) capable of exchanging information related to the state of a plurality of vehicles (12) in motion along a road network, with a single centralized processing unit (10). The method comprises the steps of: periodical acquisition, through the portable mobile communication devices (16), of the information related to the state of the vehicles (12) in motion along the road network; sending of the information thus obtained to a centralized processing unit (10) using the wireless communication system of each portable mobile communication device (16); processing of the information by means of the centralized processing unit (10) in order to verify the occurrence of potential dangerous situations for the drivers of each vehicle (12); sending, by the centralized processing unit (10) and through the wireless communication system, of warning or danger signals to one or more of the portable mobile communication devices (16) for generating warnings that can alert the drivers of the vehicles (12).</p> |
