Wrong Deck Landing

A colleague in the oil industry has mentioned to me the problem of wrong deck landings, which are apparently difficult to eliminate completely.
Various new technology solutions seem to be possible - eg an in-cockpit system advising the pilots that the deck ahead is cleared/not cleared. A "no-brainer" final check while on late approach, which will work even in low viz conditions.
How big a problem are wrong-deck-landings?
Is there a need for a new solution?
Some feedback from you guys who are at the sharp end of dealing with this issue daily, would be appreciated...
Thanks!
