Road transport is an essential and immutable part of our everyday lives. The increase in road transportation has led to an upsurge in the amount of road traffic accidents leading to the loss of lives and money. Little research is done that focuses on the effects of artificial intelligence to help curb road accidents. The present study aims to analyze how technology can make roads safer and more sustainable. This paper emphasizes the use of an intelligent transport system, automatic driver assistance system, driver monitoring system, real-time data, advanced communication technology, and intelligent traffic management solutions to help make driving safe and efficient. The findings of this research paper can be used as essential data by vehicle manufacturing companies so that they can recognize the impact of the Advanced Driver Assistance System on the safety of users and integrate it into their vehicles. The paper also has policy implications. It talks about the execution of a National Road Safety Information System and the setting up of Emergency Medical Service infrastructure dedicated to tackling road accidents.
