In the event of an accident, the unit can be proactively notified to confirm or provide assistance on the spot to avoid the spread of the hazard. The installation location of the luminaire is in a tunnel or a general road. When the corresponding environmental detector is a speed detector, it can cooperate with the remote host to detect whether there is a vehicle overspeed or danger.
