A Survey of Recent Developments in Collision Avoidance, Collision Warning and Inter-Vehicle Communication Systems
This survey provides an overview of existing and ongoing projects in CA,CW and IVC systems for researchers and developers in the automotive safety domain.
This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in Collision Avoidance and Collision Warning (CA,CW) systems, which aim to reduce traffic accidents and save lives by warning drivers or taking compensatory actions. It also discusses the economic importance of these systems and the role of Inter-Vehicle Communication Systems (IVC) in future CA,CW developments.
This paper presents the state-of-the-art on Collision Avoidance and Collision Warning (CA,CW) systems. Traffic accidents result from driver errors or situations that are unpredictable for the driver. CA,CW systems are developed for reducing traffic accidents and saving peoples lives by warning drivers or taking compensatory action when drivers can not react fast enough. Besides these initiatives, this paper explains the importance of CA,CW driving assistance systems by considering economic issues as well. Technological developments are investigated in the context of finished and ongoing projects all over the world. CA,CW system algorithms are discussed regarding performance criteria such as reliability and strictness. This paper also presents the information on Inter-Vehicle Communication Systems (IVC) which will be a key ingredient of future CA,CW systems.
