Hereby an optimal travel path planning and real time forecasting method based on ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm was proposed. The travel path node network model is established according to the starting position and the destination, and then the shortest time or shortest path planning initial program can be obtained. The optimal travel path is calculated quickly by ACO with the real time traffic...
In this study an Overtake Mishap preventive road safety system is designed. The System makes driver aware about the platoon of which its vehicle is a part. The system helps driver to know the overtaking behavior of back vehicle. The system with the help of front vehicle's response also guides driver when it decides to overtake it. The Road-Side-Devices help to maintain the communication amongst vehicles...
Nowadays accidents and vehicle theft cases of two-wheelers are increasing at an alarming rate. In present systems, the speed is monitored by using cameras, speed governors etc. These systems have geographical, visibility and applicability restrictions. These systems can't be used completely for two-wheeler because it will affect the stability of the vehicle and cause accidents. Here we are proposing...
The growing number of vehicles on the roads worldwide, lead to increase in the number of road traffic accidents. These are recognized as a major public safety problem. In this context, connected vehicles are considered as the key enabling technology to improve road safety and the emergence of next generation cooperative intelligent transport systems (ITS). In ITS, network services and applications...
In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) the network services and applications (e.g., safety messages) will require an exchange of vehicle and event location information. Effective lane changing and routing in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks is a challenging task. This paper aims to propose a solution to ensure the safety of drivers while changing lanes on the highways. Efficient and faster routing protocols...
GPS-based applications make travelling easier, supplying information about routes, such as real-time traffic, Estimated Time of Arrival, faster or cheaper path. These applications exploit digital maps supplied by specific companies, often updated also thanks to user-submitted data. The aim of this work is to show an event driven system for territory mapping and monitoring, using multi-hop wireless...
In today's days, due to increase in number of vehicles the probability of accidents are also increasing. The user should be aware of the road circumstances for safety purpose. Several methods requires installing dedicated hardware in vehicle which are expensive. so we have designed a Smart-phone based method which uses a Accelerometer and GPS sensors to analyze the road conditions. The designed system...
This research paper focuses on the sensitive issue of traffic jams on roads, which often lead to some problems like- missing of an important meeting or appointment, missing of scheduled trains, getting late for schools/college etc. or sometimes a conflict amongst people. However this paper tries to sort this problem by tracking the root cause of it i.e. “the movement of vehicles on roads” and hereby...
A new data fusion method has been developed which theoretically provides relevant information about traffic states at all crucial locations of urban road networks. This mainly based on Floating Car Data(FCD). FCD based on the collection of localisation data, speed, direction of travel and time information from GPS in vehicles that are being driven. The scope of the project is to development and creation...
The invention relates to the sphere of traffic congestion detection, and relates to a traffic congestion detecting system and technique. Vehicles will directly communicate with each other and with infrastructure; a wholly new paradigm for vehicle safety applications will be created. New challenges are created by high vehicle speeds and extremely dynamic operational environments. New necessities, necessitated...
In this paper a novel Vehicular cooperative map matching method is presented. This map matching method uses the V2V communication in a VANET to exchange GPS information between vehicles. Then vehicles can apply the road constraints of other vehicles in their own map matching process and acquire a significant improvement in their positioning. The dependency of GPS measurements between different vehicles,...
In order to effectively determine whether a vehicle is turning or not, we proposed a method to map arbitrary consecutive GPS heading information to 2 dimensional feature space. Then we applied K-means clustering algorithm to divide the feature space into 2 classes: going straight and turning. After that, we used supervised learning algorithm to analyze these labeled data and build a model to recognize...
While a vehicle driving in the street below tall buildings or viaduct, GPS receiver may receive the satellite reflected signals or may not receive satellite signals. That will cause serious positioning errors. This is called as multipath transmission error of global satellite positioning system in the metropolitan area of a city. With using the driving-view image fetched from the video of vehicle...
In today's world, with the rapid increase in population there has been tremendous growth of motor vehicles that is the primary factor responsible for increasing road accidents in many developing countries like India. Road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of death for young people aged 15–29 that cost countries 1–3% of the gross domestic product...
This paper presents a smart driving direction system using the experience of taxi drivers. In this system, GPS-enabled ph ones are used for collecting the data's from the road environment. Here, the backbone of the proposed system is Weighted Query Results Based on Ranking of Trusted Data algorithm. The project will have a smart phone version and a web interface. All the centralized database management...
Our research has been targeted towards building an integrated system for emergency rescue services in the event of a road accident. The project focuses on building an infrastructure which vehicle safety authorities can implement to enhance the reporting of vehicle crashes, provide post-crash analysis using motion sensors, record of the event in images and reduce the time it takes for emergency rescue...
In the present scenario, mobile phone is considered to be one of the prime causes of road accidents. In this paper we have used mobile phone itself as a means of safe and impervious driving. We have successfully detected and analysed the driving behaviour - Acceleration/Deceleration, Lane Change. Also the road anomalies like bumps and potholes are detected and data is processed to generate alerts...
Map matching is the process of finding a match for each GPS point in a vehicle's trajectory to roads on a digital map. Extensive research has been conducted during the last years yielding many algorithms based on different approaches. One of the challenges that face those algorithms is the interruption of GPS signals that occurs specially in dense urban environments. In these cases on-board sensors...
The paper presents a novel approach to detect the occurrence of accident and also to find the effective path to reach the accident spot using Floating Car Data (FCD) technique. The proposed technique uses the sensor inbuilt with the smartphones and also the on-board sensors fitted with the vehicle to detect the accident occurrence. Once the accident has been detected, the effective path, taking into...
GPS (Global Positioning System) has become an integral part of a vehicle system which provides speed, time, direction etc besides the navigation data. Speed is one of the primary attributes of vehicle accident. Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could receive accident information timely. This paper proposes to detect an accident from the map matched position of a vehicle by utilizing...
