The aim was to contribute to solution of this organisationally and economically complicated situation by implementing intelligent automatic traffic systems that will force the drivers to change their behaviour in a positive way, through continuous surveillance or preventive informative activity.

PREVENT has been designed with the primary idea of protecting critical accident sites and it is significantly focused on the field of prevention.

The purpose of the project is to increase safety, to lower the accident rate and to improve quality of life of citizens living in areas extremely affected by road traffic.

It should also lower negative phenomena redevelopment costs, related to road traffic:

• loss, or damage to human lives, material property, 
• post-accidental psychological traumas,
• perceived stress caused by excessive traffic,
• damage to the environment as a result of combustion engines' emission during congestions,
• increased vehicle noise at higher speeds,
• damage to building along the road as a result of heavy goods vehicle driving at excessive speed (close relation to pavement condition),
• damage to pavement surface by excessively loaded heavy goods vehicles.

It will provide preventive education of road users in the region. Road users will be preventively informed or warned of dangers through electronic message signs.
