Stereo Vision for Bus Traffic Conflict Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an imaging system for bus traffic conflict investigation is presented. The system employs geo-referenced stereo sequences and tracking procedure to provide much greater information regarding pre-crash and crash events than what is currently available. The exploitation of the traffic conflict technique potentiality as a surrogate safety measure could constitute an effective tool in understanding how the driver interacts and adapts its behavior with respect to the vehicle, the road characteristics, the traffic control devices and the environment. Experiments performed on real data acquired in urban context confirm the effectiveness of the system for the traffic conflicts measurement and the driver behavior analysis.

Complete Vision-Based Traffic Sign Recognition Supported by an I2V Communication System
This paper presents a complete traffic sign recognition system based on vision sensor onboard a moving vehicle which detects and recognizes up to one hundred of the most important road signs, including circular and triangular signs. A restricted Hough transform is used as detection method from the information extracted in contour images, while the proposed recognition system is based on Support...
متن کاملMotorcycles that See: Multifocal Stereo Vision Sensor for Advanced Safety Systems in Tilting Vehicles
Advanced driver assistance systems, ADAS, have shown the possibility to anticipate crash accidents and effectively assist road users in critical traffic situations. This is not the case for motorcyclists, in fact ADAS for motorcycles are still barely developed. Our aim was to study a camera-based sensor for the application of preventive safety in tilting vehicles. We identified two road conflic...
متن کاملComputer Vision Systems for ‘context-aware’ Active Vehicle Safety and Driver Assistance
The last decade has witnessed the introduction of several driver assistance and active safety systems in modern vehicles. Considering only systems that depend on computer vision, several independent applications have emerged such as lane tracking, road/traffic sign recognition, and pedestrian/vehicle detection. Although these methods can assist the driver for lane keeping, navigation, and colli...
متن کاملAn evaluation of Tehran intercity bus drivers’ vision compared with the standards for Iran and Europe
Background: With an ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road, it is inevitable that drivers will need to call upon an increasing use of sensory and motor skills in order to negotiate safely through traffic. Vision is one of the major senses in human beings, and it is definitely necessary for safe driving. Approximately 95% of the sensory input to the brain required for driving comes from ...
متن کاملAn innovative dynamic bus lane system and its simulation-based performance investigation Citation
The strategy of exempting bus from other traffic through exclusive bus lanes (XBL) is prevalent. Rather than just deploying the XBL system, in this study, a new innovative dynamic bus lane (DBL) operation system which is expected to be more productive is initially introduced. Unlike conventional studies which are mainly focused on operational performance of buses, this study attempts to examine...
