Primary goals of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are increased safety and situations with no stress for all traffic participants. Parking safety is improved by presenting real-time vehicle environment to the driver (surround view, bird's eye view). Bird's eye view is 3D camera and parking sensors system which assist driver with parking. It covers all angles and alerts the driver about obstacles,...
This paper proposes a lane estimation algorithm on roads where lanes are not visible due to fading or bad weather conditions. The proposed algorithm is conducted by utilizing the road width and remained lines on roads. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can estimate lanes in heavy rains and nights.
The increasing interest in vehicular communications draws attention to scalability and network congestion problems and therefore on techniques to offload the traffic, typically carried through the infrastructure, to the Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) network. Floating content (FC) represents a promising paradigm to share ephemeral content without direct support from infrastructure. It is based on constraining...
The driving system is gradually improving with the development of technology, especially for the passive safety system. However, according to the statistics of traffic accidents in Department of statistics, Ministry of Transportation and Communications R.O.C. (MOTC), there are 274,042 traffic accidents in average in the past five years. Among them, the total amount of accidents in category A1 has...
The age distribution is rapidly aging in Taiwan, which also leads the proportion of elderly driver increases. According to the past studies, the elderly driver caused a much more serious damage than others when there is a traffic accident. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between situation awareness (SA) and driving performance when there are driving emergencies at different driving...
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network, the micro-sensor generated by the information to be collected, processed and used, and then the construction of intelligent families, smart city and wisdom of medical and other living environment. The research contents of this paper are to analyze the driving behavior data through the vehicle preloading equipment, analyze the factors that affect the...
A well-organized meeting point should enhance the efficiency between travelers and people who are there to meet them. When picking up or seeing off passengers at an airport, the driver usually selects a meeting place according to the locations of airport entrances and exits, and mode of transportation. Whether the signs can be recognized easily, the colors of the signs, and how quickly they can get...
In this paper, we study methods to estimate drivers' posture in vehicles using acceleration data of wearable sensor and conduct a field test. Recently, sensor technologies have been progressed. Solutions of safety management to analyze vital data acquired from wearable sensor and judge work status are proposed. To prevent huge accidents, demands for safety management of bus and taxi are high. However,...
Automated vehicles are designed to take over all or part of the driver's task, in order to safely and comfortably navigate through road traffic. Automated vehicles, however, are limited by the line-ofsight characteristics of the on-board sensors, e.g., radar, lidar, and camera. To overcome this limitation, wireless inter-vehicle communication can be employed, which not only provides information of...
Situation recognition is a significant part of supervision to advance human operator decision making. It is a process for identification of occurred situations as the result of a sequence of actions. Situation recognition process could be individualized for an assistance system by considering exclusive behaviors of human operators individually. Accordingly, the assistance system should be provided...
Building on an existing model of coupled traffic/ driver decision-making in transportation networks, this paper investigates a mechanism for influencing drivers' en route choices. We consider dynamical transportation networks in a framework where drivers' route choices are affected by their response to an announced global information, as well as by a myopic observation of the surrounding congestion...
This paper presents the prophecy of parking area in parking management system using Geographic Information System (GIS). Parking area is generated by using Google SketchUp Pro 2015. One of the most outstanding and major problems in the parking management system is to search for an empty parking space. In recent years, there has been an expanding enthusiasm from drivers to have access to real-time...
In recent years, carpooling service provided by corporations like Uber (UberPool), Didi (DidiPool) and Lyft (Lift Link) have become more and more popular. It helps alleviating the urban traffic congestion, by decreasing the empty seats rate. To balance the supply and demand of the taxi service, a dynamic pricing method is needed. More specifically, passengers taking a same vehicle may be charged differently,...
Public safety, especially the daily traffic accident is concerned by the public. Previous studies have already discussed accident reasons associated with accidents statistically. There is a method called Innovators Marketplace on Data Jackets created by Professor Ohsawa. This method is used to externalize the value of data via stakeholders' requirement communication. This paper applied the solution...
This paper presents a novel Human-Computer Interaction design approach for an automotive direct manipulation interface, aiming primarily to act as a younger passengers' interactive infotainment system in order to minimize driver distraction. The proposed design is applied in the peripheral windscreens with the use of a novel Head-Up Display system. The system evaluation by twenty users offered promising...
The purpose of present study was to examine the intelligence system for evaluation the multi-dimension abilities for occupational bus drivers. Intelligence system involved the cognition abilities test, visual pursuit abilities test, and tachistoscopic traffic responses test. Results of stidy showed that gender and age had significant relationships to cognitive responses and visual tracking capabilities...
Urban traffic network is a typical example of a complex system called hybrid dynamic system (SDH). Although hybrid automata (HA) is a popular formalism in modeling, analysis and controlling SDH, the HA model of large scale urban traffic network gets substantially complicated for analysis and control due to large dimensionality of such systems. To overcome this problem, a new hierarchical control structure...
This paper presents a planning model for distribution systems considering various energy supply options such as distributed generation (DG), substations, and feeders. In addition, the impact of Plug-in-Electric Vehicle (PEV) uncontrolled and smart charging loads on the plan outcome is evaluated. A new optimal power flow (OPF) based optimization model is proposed to schedule PEV uncontrolled and smart...
Recently, many researched have been conducted to prevent a lot of traffic accidents caused by driver distraction such as neglect of forward-looking. A HUD (Head Up Display) is an exemplary device that can make human keep their eyes forward. However, when an image is generated from a light source, there is a case ghost images appear. These ghost images may cause dizziness to the driver while driving...
As defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), drivers are required to resume control from an automated driving system (ADS) in automated Level 2 and 3 driving when requested by the automated system. For example, the driver must resume manual driving control when the functional limitations of the ADS are approaching or have reached. In addition, he or she may also resume manual driving control...
