Abstract

Recently, significant improvements have been made in the area of vehicular communication systems. Furthermore, vehicle-to-vehicle communication is considered a key concept for keeping roads safe. An efficient implementation of these systems is necessary to ensure the safety of driving situations and to reduce the collision rates. This paper proposes a Context-Aware Driver Assistance System that links drivers with the physical environment surrounding them using multiple types of sensors and traffic systems as well as considering the senior driver's difficulties and the system processing time. This is achieved by developing a warning system that assists drivers to avoid collisions and improve their response times. The proposed system architecture consists of a set of components to process the user's request such as parking assistance, and to provide responses and advices when needed. These components include communication, knowledge exchange, knowledge update, and context-history. Also, it includes other processes such as context-history manipulation, hazard detection, and hazard detection control. The main goal of the proposed system is to reduce the number of car accidents and improve driver's decisions. The NXT Robotic environment is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system.

Highlights

  • A recent study shows that there are between 2800 to 2900 people killed on Canadian roads each year and approximately 160,000 road accidents [13]

  • The sensor, which was responsible for this function, was sending signals to the driver’s LCD panel informing that there is an obstacle ahead while the road was clear

  • As more vehicles involved in the road, car accidents rates are increasing

Summary

Introduction

A recent study shows that there are between 2800 to 2900 people killed on Canadian roads each year and approximately 160,000 road accidents [13]. Accidents are considered one of the most detrimental aspects in the usage of automobiles These accidents stem from driver errors such as speeding and aggressive driving. There is a study about standard and guidelines which illustrated the system concept and the interface concept These concepts need further explanation before attempting to introduce the proposed system architecture. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) are considered as a key concept to keep roads safe [11]. Implementation of these systems needs to be efficient enough to ensure safety and reduce car collision rates. From a research point of view, modeling a context-aware driver assistance system can greatly assist in the development of cars and improve drivers’ behaviour/decision making processes
