In India, 486,476 crashes are reported and 137,572 fatalities during 2013. Major share of crashes (28.8% of total crashes) are on National Highways. Considering high importance of NHs in overall road network with respect to its connectivity to state capitals and business centres, and cater to high share of traffic (40%), there is an urgent need to investigate factors contributing to crashes on ...

In this work, we apply the rebound attack to the AES based SHA-3 candidate Lane. The hash function Lane uses a permutation based compression function, consisting of a linear message expansion and 6 parallel lanes. In the rebound attack on Lane, we apply several new techniques to construct a collision for the full compression function of Lane-256 and Lane-512. Using a relatively sparse truncated...

-In this paper, a Catmull-Rom spline based lane model which described the perspective effect of parallel lines was proposed for generic lane boundary. As Catmull-Rom spline can form arbitrary shapes by control points, it can describe a wider range of lane structures than other lane models such as straight and parabolic model. It formulates the lane detection problem in the form of determining t...

This paper addresses the problem of the navigation of a mobile vehicle in outdoor environment. A CatmullRom Spline based lane model which described the perspective effect of parallel lines was proposed for generic lane boundary. As Catmull-Rom Spline can form arbitrary shapes by control points, it can describe a wider range of lane structures than other lane models such as straight and paraboli...

Modern cars are incorporating an increasing number of driver assist features, among which automatic lane keeping. The latter allows the car to properly position itself within the road lanes, which is also crucial for any subsequent lane departure or trajectory planning decision in fully autonomous cars. Traditional lane detection methods rely on a combination of highly-specialized, hand-crafted...

Automatic response to lane-blocking incidents is a critical issue in the field of automated highway systems (AHS). Accordingly, this paper presents a microscopic vehicular control methodology for automatic-control (AC) vehicular movements in response to lane-blocking incidents in the AHS environment. The embedded traffic control logic is based on the basic safety requirements for automatic-cont...

The objectives of this manuscript are (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of on-street bicycle lane in reducing crashes involving bicyclists on urban roads, (2) to quantify and compare risk to bicyclists on road segments with and without on-street bicycle lane, (3) to evaluate the effect of on-street bicycle lane on other road network users (all crashes), and, (4) to assess the role of on-network...

Objective: We investigated the impacts of drivers’ socio-demographic factors on these lane-changing models, and developed Fuzzy logic-based lane-changing models associated the drivers’ demographic factors. Methods: Forty drivers were recruited for a driving simulator test to collect their driving behaviors of changing lane in a work zone with/without the aid of Driver’s Smart Advisory System (D...

In this paper we explore the time course of a lane change in terms of the driver’s control and eyemovement behavior. We conducted an experiment in which drivers navigated a simulated multi-lane highway environment in a fixed-base, medium-fidelity driving simulator. We then segmented the driver data into standardized units of time to facilitate an analysis of behavior before, during, and after a...
