A new survey by HERE Technologies , the leading location data and technology platform , highlights the heavy concerns over road safety in Thailand and increasing confidence in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ( ADAS ) to reduce accidents . With 90 % of Thai road users trusting Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for safer roads . Although 64 % believe current safety measures in Thailand are working , 97 % remain deeply concerned about traffic accidents , especially those caused by reckless driving behaviours like speeding and aggressive driving . With reckless driving ranked as the leading contributor to road accidents , the findings reinforce a need for more stringent enforcement and behavioural change on Thailand ’ s roads .

Seequent , The Bentley Subsurface Company , has announced a strategic partnership with the International Geothermal Association ( IGA ) to boost geothermal energy ’ s role as a sustainable and reliable renewable energy source . Geothermal draws energy from hot fluids travelling through the Earth ’ s subsurface . These fluids are utilised to drive turbines producing electricity , directly to heat homes or in industrial processes . Traditionally , geothermal energy has been viewed as energy restricted to environments where it is visible – however new technological breakthroughs and the realities of needing 24 / 7 access to energy are changing the investment landscape .
