Most of the car drivers used the reverse radar or a reverse camera to detect the road situation behind the vehicle when it is engaged in reverse gear. As a matter of fact, the pedestrians can virtually know if the vehicle is backing up or not only by seeing the permanent bright reverse lamps. And as there is not much change with the reverse lamp to be seen, therefore their warning function for pedestrians...
In urban environments, detection of moving obstacles and free space determination are key issues for driving assistance systems or autonomous vehicles. This paper presents a lidar-based perception system for passenger-cars, able to do simultaneously mapping and moving obstacles detection. Nowadays, many lidars provide multi-layer and multi-echo measurements. A smart way to handle this multi-modality...
Optical wireless is an emerging technology with applications in fixed and mobile networks. In particular, it is beginning to be useful in areas such as marine, aircraft, and vehicular technologies. This review paper outlines some of these topics, especially automotive areas in which its particular advantages include versatility, ability to operate in confined spaces, immunity to electromagnetic interference,...
This paper proposes a novel method for a dynamic ridesharing mechanism using the combination of several modern information and communication technologies. The increased personal usage of automobiles has caused several undesirable consequences. Waste of time, fuel and effort due to traffic congestion and scarcity of parking areas are the most obvious. Ride-sharing for routine travelling has been an...
More than 23% of annual vehicle accidents are rear-end collisions, this gives an important test-case for enhanced collision avoidance approaches based on v2v wireless communications. V2V wireless network concern with the impact of a IEEE 802.11 based multi-hop MAC protocol that propagates an emergency warning message (EWM) down a platoon of cars on a highway. The design objective is to ensure reception...
This paper deals with the design & development of a theft control system for an automobile, which is being used to prevent/control the theft of a vehicle. The developed system makes use of an embedded system based on GSM technology. The designed & developed system is installed in the vehicle. An interfacing mobile is also connected to the microcontroller, which is in turn, connected to the...
In spite of the importance of the stability and reliability of the embedded system, and the difficulty of its development, the embedded system needs to be released on the market quickly by minimizing the development period. The prototyping development methodology is being widely used to minimize the development cost of the embedded product. In this study, the prototyping developmental tools RapidPLUS[1]...
This paper describes how we can use existing mobile technology to track the vehicle. Here the embedded system along with the mobile is used to prevent the vehicle from being stolen and also if the vehicle is stolen then its location can be tracked. Mobile technology is the fastest growing communication mode. In todaypsilas mobile technology we all are acquainted with short message service (SMS). In...
An experiment / pilot to improve emission factor of the mobile transport carried out and the below results came up. For transportation sector inventory, we found that major user of the fuels in 1990 was auto-transportation. But this condition has changed and by 1996 the biggest user of fuels became the machinery and vehicles that used in mining sites using about 40 per cent of overall diesel consumption...
