One of the leading causes of road accidents is speeding and the numbers are increasing every year. Traffic enforcement officials do not have the manpower or resources to monitor every stretch of road 24/7. The developed system can be installed into a vehicle, possibly during manufacturing, to detect if a vehicle is breaching the speed limit and if so, the driver is notified of the fine via an SMS...
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) are the fastchanging networks for connected vehicles, in which Vehicle- to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication are the basis for technologies aiming at reducing accidents and improving operation. DSRC Safety Applications, designed to assist drivers in order to avoid accidents, might be subjected to malicious attacks, such as GPS time spoofing attacks,...

The urgency of these problems is justified and the potential threats and vulnerabilities are investigated for different types of transport. The approaches have been proposed to ensure a transport security. The method of transport security modeling is substantiated. The basic conclusions and recommendations...
The aim of this study is to design safe driving system which is constantly being worked on every year in the world to reduce traffic accidents that cause economic and social loss in very large sizes. The developed safe driving system works on mobile phones that are not part of other secure driving systems. By this way, regardless of the technological equipment of the vehicle, old or new all means...
The consumer automotive market is going through rapid changes. To preserve the competitiveness each new generation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) heavily adds to a complexity of the hardware platform. Analysis of the latest ADAS systems, their existing and missing requirements, is a foundation for the development of the Alpha board, the hardware platform for ADAS applications. In this...
Primary goals of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are increased safety and situations with no stress for all traffic participants. Parking safety is improved by presenting real-time vehicle environment to the driver (surround view, bird's eye view). Bird's eye view is 3D camera and parking sensors system which assist driver with parking. It covers all angles and alerts the driver about obstacles,...
This paper proposes a lane estimation algorithm on roads where lanes are not visible due to fading or bad weather conditions. The proposed algorithm is conducted by utilizing the road width and remained lines on roads. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can estimate lanes in heavy rains and nights.
Semi-autonomous driving is a huge technological step, but it also introduces a range of new challenges. Real-time control, selection and development of hardware platform, data transfer and development of algorithms are just a small collection of technical challenges to fully take advantages of such a system. The focus of this paper is analysis of some aspects of semi-autonomous driving, the corresponding...

Sensing and computing capabilities of modern traffic intersections have greatly improved in recent years, but current control policies do not fully utilize these capabilities. In this paper, we present a novel intersection control algorithm based on an objective function that accounts for drivers' time preferences. In particular, the intersection places greater importance on a vehicle which has been...
This paper proposes a method for a real-time classification of the absolute driving style using three levels of sportiveness: calm, normal and sporty. The algorithm is based on a physical gg-plot-based approach and on a novel manouvre detection algorithm. The method makes use of standard vehicle signals which can be also provided by an external IMU+GPS system. Experimental results show the effectiveness...
This work investigates the incorporation of a risk metric based on time to collision for Adaptive Cruise Control applications on multi-lane motorways. To improve the fuel-efficiency and safety, a stochastic model predictive control approach is suggested that limits the violation probability of the imposed risk metric.
