OBJECTIVE Enhanced seat belt reminders in automobiles have been shown to increase belt use rates by approximately 3 percentage points. The objective of this study was to estimate the effect of enhanced seat belt reminders on driver fatality risk. METHOD Data included all passenger vehicle driver deaths and vehicle registration counts in the United States for calendar years 2000-2007. Driver f...

On U.S. highways single-vehicle road-departure (SVRD) accidents account for approximately one fourth of all accidents and one third of all fatalities. This paper describes an active safety system to help prevent SVRD accidents. Many aspects of the proposed system have been implemented on a prototype vehicle, and evaluated in driving tests. In addition to providing an overview of this vision-bas...

The increasing in-vehicle information and safety systems tend to confuse and distract the driver from his/her primary driving task. This paper develops algorithms for the real-time supervision of the traffic and environmental scenario around the vehicle for the optimization of the Human Machine Interaction. The proposed algorithms reconstruct the scenario using stochastic motion models and Kalm...

The article presents analysis of road crash accidents. It the evolution safety systems, starting from a description curently used vehicle-based with particular emphasis on prediction driver falling asleep. also proposes proprietary system sleep based face detection drivers. facial landmarks is presented as two-step process: an algorithm finds faces in general, and then needs to localize key str...

DAVI project, which is the abbreviation for Dutch Automated Vehicle Initiative, aims to explore, improve and demonstrate automated driving on public roads. The ultimate goal of the project is to achieve a full autonomous vehicle without any driver, but only users on it. Compared with traditional human driving, automated driving is an appealing topic due to its advantages of enhancing road safet...

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an electronic system that allows the vehicle to slow while approaching another vehicle and accelerate again to the preset speed when traffic is cleared. It also warns the driver and/or applies brake support if there is a high risk of a collision. The project aim is to design a GPS equipped ACC system that (apart from performing normal ACC functions) slows down t...

The advance of computing technology has provided the means for building intelligent vehicle systems. Drowsy driver detection system is one of the potential applications of intelligent vehicle systems. Here we employ machine learning techniques to detect driver drowsiness. The system obtained 98% performance in predicting driver drowsiness. This is the highest prediction rate reported to date fo...

Connected vehicle, wireless communication technology is expeditiously evolving in recent years, and host vehicle (HV) can transmit or receive the basic safety message (BSM) from the remote vehicles (RVs). A collision warning predicted that provides connected automated vehicle and alert driver when time to collision (TTC) is within specified bound. Then, distance is calculated by using Haversine...
