Over the past few years, road safety issues are sadly emerging as a major priority to be tackled by governments worldwide. Ever more alarming data are increasingly, demanding the use of intelligent solutions for effective and efficient preventive and management actions. To cite a few, nearly 1,300,000 people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day, and an additional 20,000,000–50,000,000 are injured or disabled.
