A Vehicle Simulation Study Examining the Effects of System Interface Design Elements on Performance in Different Vibration Environments Below 3Hz.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between system interface elements' design features and interaction performance in simulated vehicle vibration environments. Touch screens have been widely used in vehicle information systems, but few studies have focused on the decline of touchscreen interaction performance and task load increase when driving on unpaved roads. The interaction performance (reaction time and task accuracy rate) with vibration frequencies below 3Hz (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5Hz) and different interface design elements was investigated employing a touch screen computer and E-prime software. The results indicate that vehicle vibration (below 3Hz) can significantly reduce interaction performance with a vehicle information system interface. An appropriate increase in the physical size of the interface design features (visual stimulus materials and touch buttons) can help to mitigate this negative effect of vibration. The results and findings of this study can be utilized for the design of information system interfaces as it relates to the vibration scenario of unpaved roads.

Analysis of the security of on-board information systems in vehicles

The features of the functioning of the on-board information systems of a car are considered. Threats to their security are analyzed, and methods for ensuring information security and functional security of on-board information systems are proposed. The design of road networks in the organization of road traffic is one of the factors in ensuring the functional security of modern intelligent transport systems, that is, compliance with such information security attributes as data confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity and novelty of data. The security of on-board vehicle information systems is a critical issue in the modern world, as more and more vehicles are equipped with electronic systems that may be vulnerable to cyber attacks. One of the main challenges of protecting on-board information systems is the wide range of devices and technologies used in modern vehicles. Different systems may have different security requirements and vulnerabilities. They may interact with each other in a complex way. Another challenge is that many of these systems were not designed originally with security in mind. They may lack basic security features such as encryption and authentication and use outdated software and protocols that are vulnerable to known attacks. The main types of attacks and threats to the elements of the transportation system that interact with the VANET were identified to analyze the information security of vehicle in-vehicle systems. Based on the theory of fuzzy sets under conditions of uncertainty and using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in the integrated Matlab environment, the level of information security of the OBU-VANET system was modeled. The obtained results allowed us to formulate the degree of information security of vehicle operation elements against unauthorized access to data. The results of the study showed that technical communication systems have the highest security level (> 0.7), and vehicles become the most vulnerable in public places.

Driver's attitudes and preferences toward connected vehicle information system

Connected vehicle (CV) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies enhance connectivity among vehicle, road user, and road infrastructure and can provide timely and concisely coordination information among drivers. Currently, there are far more studies on the technical aspects of V2X than on the demands of users. This study investigated the attitudes and preferences of drivers concerning the design of connected vehicle information system (CVIS) in this context. Focus group discussions followed by a questionnaire survey were conducted to gather driver's attitudes and preferences information. Results indicate that participants believed CVISs would help improve the efficiency of roadway communication, thereby improving safety, efficiency, and convenience of the overall traffic system. Visual warning signals and descriptive verbal speech were preferred over tactile warnings. Safety-related information (e.g., rescue services, reminding vehicle malfunction, and information about surroundings hazards) was valued most. Furthermore, age, gender, risk perception, privacy expectations, and technology inclination played essential roles in associating the attitudes toward CVISs. The outcome of this research provides an overview of the opinion of Chinese drivers toward CVISs and suggests practical implications regarding the design of CVISs for intelligent transportation.

Research on Vehicle Collision Avoidance System through using Wireless Vehicle Communication

The number of vehicles in the world has been increasing for many years. With the serious aging of the world, the aging of drivers has become norm. Traffic safety is particularly important. The vehicle safety system has also been significantly improved, such as active braking, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic images, etc. All of which have greatly improved the safe driving of vehicle. On the other hand, Lack of the concentration of a driver and degeneration of the reaction time of driver operations are also the main causes of some traffic accidents. Especially, when a vehicle turns at a intersection, a driver must have high judgement. The purpose of this study is to develop the vehicle collision avoidance system through using wireless vehicle communication(VCAS). This system is constructed by a fixed point sensor set up by a road and vehicle information system. A fixed point sensor inform the traffic information to a vehicle. When the vehicle is dangerous condition, VCAS controls the vehicle and avoid a collision. In this paper we would like to examine the application in right turn collision avoidance at intersection.

Perancangan Sistem Informasi Pengajuan Kredit Kendaraan Bermotor (Studi Kasus : FIF Group Kedaton Bandar Lampung)

AbstractOne type of vehicle that is in great demand by the public is a motorized vehicle. Motorized vehicle is any vehicle that is driven by mechanical equipment in the form of a machine other than a vehicle that runs on rails. In the past, motorbikes were a type of vehicle that was quite expensive but over time, now motorbikes are not a type of vehicle that is difficult to own. This is due to the presence of a motorcycle loan program held by the leasing party, one of which is the FIF Group. FIF Group is one of the financing or leasing companies in Indonesia that has motor vehicle credit facilities. Currently, FIF GROUP is still in the process of applying for credit using the conventional method, namely by coming directly to the dealer or via WhatsApp for data requirements. In addition, the credit application process is too time-consuming and expensive. Based on this, the researcher proposes an information system for applying for a motor vehicle loan based on a website. From the results of the analysis and testing, the application made can be used to apply for a motorcycle loan and runs according to the original purpose of this study. In addition, the application of this motorized vehicle information system can save time and costs, because the application created has a centralized data source.

Intelligibility of Haptic Signals in Vehicle Information Systems.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify changes in a driver’s emotions through the physical characteristics of haptic signals. This is to improve the performance of drivers by designing haptic signals with emotional semantics. Background: Currently, drivers receive a variety of information through intelligent systems installed in their vehicles. Because this is mainly achieved through visual and auditory channels, an excessive amount of information is provided to drivers, which increases the amount of information and cognitive load that they must accept. This, in turn, can reduce driving safety. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a haptic signal, a sensory channel that has not been widely used in in-vehicle information systems. Methods: The experiment was performed to collect a driver’s emotions according to the haptic signal in a driving simulator. Haptic signals were designed by various frequencies and accelerations, and driver emotions were collected through Kansei engineering techniques and analyzed through factor analysis. To verify intelligibility, haptic signals were compared and evaluated based on response time, response rate, and amount of transmitted information. Results: The final determined emotional map consisted of dangerousness and urgency. Based on the emotional map, four emotional semantic haptic signals were designed. It was confirmed that these four signals displayed higher performance than the discriminability haptic signal in terms of response time, response rate, and amount of transmitted information. Conclusions: Using emotional maps, it is possible to design haptic signals that can be applied to various driving situations. These maps may also assist in securing design guidelines for haptic signals that apply to in-vehicle information systems.

Design of a Width Slim Linear Vibration Motor Used for Automotive LCD Panel

With the rapid development of vehicle information systems, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have been widely used to enhance information experience. A linear vibration motor is usually placed behind the LCD to provide sufficient haptic feedback. A linear vibration motor with a large permanent magnet causes massive flux leakage around the display. As a result, it may cause unpredictable harm to people with implanted medical devices. Therefore, in this article, a novel magnetic circuit design of a slim-width type linear vibration motor is introduced to reduce the static magnetic flux leakage. The haptic performance of the slim-width type linear vibration motor was analyzed using the electromagnetic–mechanical coupling method. Three types of experimental results were obtained to verify the analysis results. In conclusion, compared with the prototype motor, the slim-width type linear vibration motor proposed in this article exhibits significant flux leakage reduction of 94.01% and 96.34% at the measuring positions. Furthermore, the slim-width type linear vibration motor exhibits an acceleration similar to that of the prototype motor.

Fuel Consumption Using OBD-II and Support Vector Machine Model

This paper presents a method to estimate gasoline fuel consumption using the onboard vehicle information system OBD-II (Onboard Diagnoses-II). Multiple vehicles were used on a test route so that their consumption can be compared. The relationships between fuel consumption and both of the engine speed are measured in RPM (revolutions per minute), and the throttle position sensor (TPS). The relationships are expressed as polynomial equations. The method which is composed of an SVM (support vector machine) classifier combined with Lagrange interpolation, is used to define the relationship between the two engine parameters and the overall fuel consumption. The relationship model is plotted using a surface fitting tool. In the experimental section, the proposed method is tested using the vehicles on a major highway between two cities in Jordan. The proposed model gets its sample data from the engine’s RPM, TPS, and fuel consumption. The method successfully has given precise fuel consumption with square root mean difference of 2.43, and the figures are compared with the values calculated by the conventional method.

A crucial aspect concerning the intelligent transport systems is data transmission between vehicle and central control and information systems. Transportation needs a reliable system of data transfer based on GSM or WiFi networks. However, these networks employ a wide range of different frequencies which can be harmful to the health of drivers. The detrimental effect of electromagnetic radiation can negatively affect the process of transportation. This study determines the intensity of electric field levels (E) of the radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF EMF) during the data transmission through the 3G, 4G and local WiFi networks, comparing them with the limit values. Conclusions: Our results showed a significantly higher level of the E-field intensity during 4G transmission in all places. The limit values were not exceeded. The lowest E-field values were found in local WiFi network.

Driven to comment: Learning from older drivers impressions of in-vehicle technologies

Many challenges associated with aging faced by older drivers may be attenuated by advancements of in-vehicle technologies. One class in particular, In Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS), refers to a collection of features and functions that allow motorists to complete tasks in addition to operating the vehicle. Little is known about how interactions with IVIS may impact older drivers. This study explored comments provided by drivers while completing goal-oriented IVIS tasks in six vehicles; collected via survey, and in an open-ended prompt. Two age cohorts were evaluated: younger drivers between 21-36 years of age, and older drivers between 55-75 years of age. Analyses of comments investigated differences in the thematic content and emotional valence present in comments. Results indicated that older and younger drivers were surprisingly symmetrical in their responses pertaining to valence and themes, and older drivers were more willing to take time to become familiar with IVIS.

Vehicle identification number – anatomy of error occurrence

Each vehicle manufactured after 1986 must be identified with a unique VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) by the manufacturer. This is so called individual vehicle identification, which is normally used as a primary data information key in various computer registers and vehicle information systems – in national vehicle registers, in police information systems (both national and international databases of stolen vehicles, etc.), in insurance company databases, leasing companies, in the eCALL technology etc. A VIN identifier error means that the vehicle cannot be found and it looks like everything is OK. The error rate of national and international registers is in the range of 5 % to 20 %. Most VIN errors occur in manual processes during transcribing or copying VINs from documents to information systems. This paper deals with the anatomy of VIN error occurrence in various processes and offers possibilities to eliminate them and improve the quality of the information systems that use VIN identifiers.

Spatial analysis of traffic accidents based on WaveCluster and vehicle communication system data

The frequent occurrence of traffic accidents has always been an important problem troubling traffic safety management, so exploring the law and characteristics of case occurrence in a space area has profound significance for the prevention of traffic accidents. Starting from the space-time angle and based on the traffic accident data, this article firstly carries out the wavelet decomposition of the incident data of time series to realize the problem optimization of sparse matrix and then studies the spatial differentiation pattern of traffic accidents through the k-means clustering method. And under the formed differentiation pattern, the spatial and temporal laws of the incident are deeply analyzed. Finally, accident causes based on vehicle information system data are analyzed. The results show that the traffic accident space in Beijing is divided into 5 categories, among which, the hot spot space is the area with large traffic volume, diverse driver quality, or the junction of urban and rural roads, and the vehicle information system distracting the driver’s attention is also the cause of accidents from a micro view through vehicle information system data.

A headway to improve PTW rider safety within the EU through three types of ITS

IntroductionThe current safety situation for Powered Two Wheelers (PTW) within the EU is alarming. According to EU statistics, PTW riders account for 17% of all fatal road injuries in the region and twice as many fatalities per hundred thousand registered vehicles compared with occupants of cars. In recent years, too little attention has been given to Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), including PTW users, in the development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Therefore, ITS should be developed that consider PTW riders an integral part of traffic; we focus on three systems that we believe have the potential to improve safety among PTW riders, namely Intersection Safety (INS), the Powered Two Wheeler oncoming vehicle information system (PTW2V), and the Vulnerable road user Beacon System (VBS). The present study aims to estimate quantitatively the safety impacts of the selected ITS for PTW riders in the EU-28, once the systems are fully adopted and meet selected future scenarios for 2020 and 2030.MethodAn ex-ante method suggested by Kulmala (Accident Analysis and Prevention 42:1359–1369, 2010) was further developed and applied to assess the safety impacts of ITS specifically designed for VRUs. As suggested by the method, the analysis started by determining the impact mechanisms through which the selected ITS systems affect the safety of PTW riders.ResultsAccording to the main results, all the systems we studied have a positive impact on PTW rider safety by preventing fatalities and injuries. The greatest effects, based on 2012 accident data and full penetration, could be attained by implementing PTW2V (283 fewer yearly fatalities) and INS (261 fewer yearly fatalities). The weakest effect was found with VBS (216 fewer yearly fatalities). Forecasts for 2030, also based on estimated accident trends and penetration rates, confirm an expected edge for INS and PTW2V in terms of safety.
