Along with the economic development, cities are increasingly congested in China. In order to eliminate peak-hour congestion, many cities establish priority lanes such as bus lanes and Olympic lanes. Although priority lanes could help Local Authorities gain its short-term management objectives, at the same time, it would greatly infringe on the legitimate rights of other vehicles and waste the scarce...
A serious highway accident with long duration will lead to a great delay. If the extended travel time is beyond travelers' tolerance, they will make a detour by choosing any other roads. However, the driver's behavior of taking other routes will make an impact on the surrounding road network. Thus that impact is called the indirect impact by highway traffic accidents in road network. The range of...
Statistical data shows that a driver who was lack of the ability to discover potential risk situation and safe driving awareness was more probably to cause an accident. The safe driving awareness was considered as a factor in contributing to vehicle crashes. In this study, a creative method to improve safety awareness based on driving simulator was proposed. Firstly, the definition and classification...
When driving at night, it is difficult to detect obstacles such as pedestrian and wild animals on the opposite lane which is out of sight. Adaptive front lighting system (AFS) can be used to avoid accidents with obstacles that are difficult to detect with a conventional lighting system. The basic concept of AFS is to collect the information such as vehicle speed, yaw rate, steering angle, suspension...
Drivers have to change their sightline to focus on the vehicle's visual speedometer to check the speed at which they are travelling. This may be a dangerous loss of concentration. A head-up display was developed to solve this issue. HUD has several issues. Large amounts of visual information can create visual clutter and degrade the driver's information processing due to cognitive overload. The HUD...
Present Traffic Light Controllers (TLC) are based on microcontroller and microprocessor. These TLC have limitations because it uses the pre-defined hardware, which is functioning according to the program that does not have the flexibility of modification on real time basis. Due to the fixed time intervals of green, orange and red signals the waiting time is more and car uses more fuel. To make traffic...
The intent of this article is to analyze road traffic accident data recorded over a five-year period in Raipur Chhattisgarh, ascertain the causes of such accidents and suggest precautionary strategies for preventing or controlling them for the benefit of road users. An analysis of accident data recorded between 2004-2008. The causes of these accidents stem from different elements namely; the vehicle...
Utilizing advanced technologies to guarantee safety protection for pedestrians at intersections has become an important issue because intersections are the places where pedestrians easily conflict with vehicles. The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual design of an intersection bus-pedestrian collision warning system with appropriate detection and warning parameters for bus drivers approaching...
This paper presents a profile based modeling method for generation of realistic mobility pattern for vehicles. It is assumed the profile of the motion of vehicles has a Gaussian profile with different parameters. A driver, first, selects the source, destination and his path and then, selects a profile accordingly. This paper also addresses the issues of lane changing, overtaking, selection of profile...
