This paper describes a vision-based vehicle detection system for a blind spot warning function. This detection system has been designed to provide ample performance as a driving safety support system,....
Driving through intersections can be potentially dangerous because nearly 23 percent of the total automotive related fatalities and almost 1 million injury-causing crashes occur at or within intersect....
This paper reports on the interim progress of the Honda-DRI ACAT-II program initiated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The objectives of the ACAT-II program were further ....
Forward safety system (FSS) monitors the roadway ahead and warns the driver when a potential risk exists. The vision-based FSS can provide better protection capability than those based on radars becau....
It is known that the collisions caused by lane departure events account for range of percentages among the countries studied. To help prevent such collisions, the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system h....
“Safe Driving” is an essential world-wide automotive requirement. The demand for “Safe Driving” is particularly high in industrialized countries, but it is also growing in the fast-developing nations.....
The usage of rearview camera displays and their effectiveness on drivers' capability to avoid unexpected obstacles during four common backing tasks (i.e., parallel parking, backing between two vehicle....
Active safety applications can be divided into two categories according to the sensor technology the system uses: short range applications and long range applications. Short range applications require....
The paper intends to present goals and experimental results of the ERSEC Project (Enhanced Road Safety by integrating Egnos-Galileo data with on-board Control System), a two-year project funded by the....
The availability of active safety systems, such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), has recently been added as a rating factor in the U.S. New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The objective of this study i....
Driving is a very complex activity which requires the driver's full attention. Nowadays, the human factor is linked to the majority of accidents [1], and driver distraction is a principal cause. The o....
An understanding of the relationship between user acceptance and system effectiveness is necessary for designing collision warning systems for cars and for accurately estimating their safety benefits.....
This paper describes a lane departure avoidance system to help the driver avoid the lane departure during drowsiness or inattention. The lane departure avoidance system proposed in this paper consists....
Nowadays, collision avoidance systems (CAS) are an intensive research topic since the majority of all traffic accidents are collisions that are caused due to inattention or unadjusted driving behavior....
