Research of Vehicle Rear-End Collision Model considering Multiple Factors

Rear-end Collision Prevention Using Mobile Devices

Portable devices like tablet PCs and smart phones are being used more often these days within the vehicular environment. Drivers use them for listening to music, navigation assistance, accessing internet and also mainly for speaking over the phone. Most of these features are made possible in the portable devices due to the availability and use of many sensors such as global positioning system (...

Development of Sensitivity Term in Car-following Model Considering Practical Driving Behavior of Preventing Rear End Collision

In this study, the deceleration model and the sensitivity term were developed by considering actual driving behaviors to prevent rear end collisions in the car-following situations, especially in deceleration situations. Test vehicles capable of measuring the speed, acceleration, and spacing between the vehicles were used to collect data in the field survey. The deceleration model developed by ...

Real-Time Vision-Based Vehicle Detection for Rear-End Collision Mitigation Systems

This paper describes a real-time vision-based system that detects vehicles approaching from the rear in order to anticipate possible rear-end collisions. A camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle provides images which are analysed by means of computer vision techniques. The detection of candidates is carried out using the top-hat transform in combination with intensity and edge-based symmetri...

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...
