The startup develops a signaling device that enhances road safety through two variants: an analog version called help-flash and a digital version named smart-flash, which integrates a user-friendly application. This technology enables users to reduce accident risks while providing valuable data to insurance companies for improved risk assessment.

Problem
In roadside emergencies, drivers face significant risks when exiting their vehicles to deploy traditional warning devices like emergency triangles, especially in conditions of low visibility or high traffic. Current warning methods often fail to provide real-time location data to emergency services and other drivers, delaying response times and increasing the potential for secondary accidents.
Solution
Netun Solutions develops connected V16 emergency beacons that enhance road safety by providing immediate, visible alerts and real-time location data. The Help Flash IoT device magnetically attaches to the vehicle's roof, emitting a high-intensity flashing light visible from all directions, eliminating the need for drivers to exit the vehicle and risk exposure to oncoming traffic. Integrated NB-IoT technology, through Vodafone, automatically transmits the vehicle's location to the DGT 3.0 platform and emergency services, facilitating rapid response and informing other drivers of the hazard. The Incidence app complements the device, offering direct communication with insurance providers and emergency responders, streamlining the assistance process.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individual vehicle owners, fleet operators, roadside assistance providers, insurance companies, and public safety organizations seeking to improve road safety and emergency response efficiency.
