Driver Assistance: Contemporary Road Safety
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite a trend towards increased road safety, fatal and/or serious accidents induce a significant toll each year. We work towards improved road safety through the development of an intelligent driver assistance system that monitors the driver’s performance and assists with vehicle guidance. This complex task is decomposed into subsystems including lane-keeping, obstacle avoidance, sign detection, monitoring of driver alertness, situation feedback to the driver, and proactive and preemptive warnings. The set of subsystems combine to produce the desired assistive control and monitoring behaviours. Sensing, feedback and actuation mechanisms are presented. Although refinement and testing is currently in progress, some preliminary results and demonstrations are provided with more thorough experimentation to be conducted shortly.

O11: Safety Potential of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have the potential to accomplish a major contribution to road safety. This is valid for minor crashes to very severe accidents with personal injuries. The Allianz Centre for Technology attends the development of new driver assistance systems by carrying out accident analysis and estimating the efficiency of new ADAS. In this context new ADAS from differ...

In the past four Years, Road Traffic Injuries (RTI) ranked fourth among the leading cause of death. Nearly 1.3 million people die every year on the world’s roads and 20 to 50 million people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many sustaining a disability as a result of their injury. However, active safety systems like ABS (Anti−lock Braking System) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) offer possi...

In recent years, ITS projects in Japan, Europe and the US have been characterized by a strong emphasis on safe driver assistance systems designed to prevent traffic accidents. As it has become clear that eradicating accidents will be impossible by means of vehicle passive safety and single-vehicle active safety efforts alone, research and development of systems for preventing accidents through ...

Road sign detection is important to a robotic vehicle that drives on roads automatically. In this paper, road signs are detected by means of rules that restrict and require signs to appear only in limited regions using wireless. They are then recognized using a PAN ID matching method. The method is fast and can easily be modified to include new classes of signs. As with any vehicle, an autonomo...
