Milané To decrease traffic accidents is a declared target of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Among them, rear-end collisions are one of the most common and constitute one of the as yet unsolved topics in the automotive sector. This paper ...

Assessment of IVHS Countermeasures for Collision Avoidance: Rear-End Crashes

Human Performance Models and Rear-End Collision Avoidance Algorithms

Collision warning systems offer a promising approach to mitigate rear-end collisions, but substantial uncertainty exists regarding the joint performance of the driver and the collision warning algorithms. A simple deterministic model of driver performance was used to examine kinematics-based and perceptual-based rear-end collision avoidance algorithms over a range of collision situations, algor...

Unsafe rear-end collision avoidance in Alzheimer's disease.

Drivers with cognitive impairment are at increased odds for vehicular crashes. Rear-end collisions (REC) are among the most common crash types. We tested REC avoidance in 61 drivers with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 115 elderly controls using a high-fidelity interactive driving simulator. After a segment of uneventful driving, each driver suddenly encountered a lead vehicle stopped at an i...

Intelligent guidance in collision avoidance of maritime transportation

This paper focuses on an overview of an autonomous navigation system in maritime transportation that is supplied with intelligent guidance to avoid collision, while respecting the COLREGs rules and regulations and using expert knowledge in navigation for close quarter’s manoeuvres. The proposed collision avoidance process consists of two modules: a fuzzy logic based parallel decision making mod...
