Solution of Problems to Ensure Road Safety by Means of Intelligent Transport Systems

Abstract

The article is devoted to intelligent transport systems based on short-range radio technology (DSRC). The main feature of this type of system is the ability to provide communication between vehicles without the direct involvement of drivers and without access to the global network. This allows to solve a number of problems related mainly to road safety. This article is about collision prediction and the detection of dangerous driving elements. For these problems, mathematical models of their solution are given, a description of the basic terms of the proposed algorithms, and the results of simulation experiments delivered using the traffic simulator Simulation of Urban Mobility are presented. The model for prediction of vehicle collisions is based on methods for approximating vehicle trajectories and their pairwise comparison. The detection of dangerous driving elements is based on the statistical processing of a number of vehicle motion parameters in the visibility range of the such DSRC device.
