Download or read book Special Investigation Report written by United States. National Transportation Safety Board and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1999 and 2000, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated nine rear-end collisions in which 20 people died and 181 were injured. Common to all nine accidents was the rear following vehicle driver's degraded perception of traffic conditions ahead. As the Safety Board reported in 1995 and further discussed at its 1999 public hearing, existing technology in the form of intelligent Transportation Systems can prevent rear-end collisions. In the nine accidents investigated by the Board, one (and sometimes more) of the available technologies would have helped alert drivers to the vehicles ahead, so that they could slow their vehicles, and would have prevented or mitigated the circumstances of the collisions. The major issue addressed in this Safety Board special investigation report is the prevention of rear-end collisions through the use of Intelligent transportation systems. This report also discusses some of the challenges, including implementation, consumer acceptance, public perception, and training, associated with the deployment of vehicle-and infrastructure-based collision warning systems. As a result of its investigation, the Safety Board issues recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation; the Federal Highway Administration; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; truck, motorcoach, and automobile manufacturers; the Intelligent Transportation Society of America; the American Trucking Associations, Inc.; the Owner-Operator Independent Driver Association; and the National Private Truck Council.

Download or read book Connected Vehicles written by Radovan Miucic and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces concepts and technologies of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). It describes state of the art safety communication protocol called Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), currently being considered for adoption by the USDOT and automotive industry in the US. However, the principles of this book are applicable even if the underlying physical layer protocol of V2X changes in the future, e.g. V2X changes from DSRC to cellular-based connectivity. Fundamental ITS concepts include topics like global positioning system; Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P), and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications; human-machine interface; and security and privacy. Fundamental concepts are sometimes followed by the real-life test experimental results (such as in V2P Chapter) and description of the performance metrics used to evaluate the results. This book also describes equations and math used in the development of the individual parts of the system. This book surveys current and previous publications for trending research in the ITS domain. It also covers state of the art standards that are in place for the DSRC in the US, starting from the application layer defined in SAE J2735 all the way to physical layer defined in IEEE 802.11. The authors provide a detailed discussion on what is needed to extend the current standards to accommodate future needs of the vehicle communications, such as needs for future autonomous vehicles. Programs and code examples accompany appropriate chapters, for example, after describing remote vehicle target classification function a pseudo code and description is provided. In addition, the book discusses current topics of the technology such as spectrum sharing, simulation, security, and privacy. The intended audience for this book includes engineering graduate students, automotive professionals/engineers, researchers and technology enthusiasts.

Download or read book The Multisensory Driver written by Cristy Ho and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driver inattention has been identified as one of the leading causes for car accidents. The problem of distraction while driving is likely to worsen, partly due to increasingly complex in-car technologies. However, intelligent transport systems are being developed to assist drivers and to ensure a safe road environment. One approach to the design of ergonomic automobile systems is to integrate our understanding of the human information processing systems into the design process. This book aims to further the design of ergonomic multisensory interfaces using research from the fast-growing field of cognitive neuroscience. It focuses on two aspects of driver information-processing in particular: multisensory interactions and the spatial distribution of attention in driving. The Multisensory Driver provides interface design guidelines together with a detailed review of current cognitive neuroscience and behavioural research in multisensory human perception, which will help the development of ergonomic interfaces. The discussion on spatial attention is particularly relevant for car interface designers, but it will also appeal to cognitive psychologists interested in spatial attention and the applications of these theoretical research findings. Giving a detailed description of a cohesive series of psychophysical experiments on multisensory warning signals, conducted in both laboratory and simulator settings, this book provides an approach for those in the engineering discipline who wish to test their systems with human observers.

Download or read book Fostering Development Evaluation and Deployment of Forward Crash Avoidance Systems FOCAS written by P. Fancher and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is part of a multiyear program to foster the development, evaluation, and deployment of forward crash avoidance systems. The work performed during the first two years of this program addressed adaptive cruise control and warnings based upon the motion and proximity of preceding vehicles in the path of travel. The research work done in the first and second years has provided a foundation for the work performed in this third year. The technology-related work for the third year was focused upon the addition of braking to an UMRI prototype of an ACC system. The objective of this work is to provide test results and system-development experience showing the engineering and human factors issues posed by braking as a supplement to ACC or within a medium-deceleration crash avoidance function. The results indicated that the acceleration level used in increasing the speed of the ACC vehicle was not satisfactory in the opinion of most of the test drivers. Drivers did not want to slow down too much because they were concerned with how long it would take to get back up to the desired speed and headway time gap. They indicated that the resume rate of the system was the system's weakness. With regard to the buzzer that was used to warn the driver when the system was asking for the maximum deceleration authority, there were some drivers who did not like buzzers in general and some drivers who thought the features of this buzzer could be improved. The ratings concerning the deceleration level, the following control, and the system's smoothness were quite good. It is recommended that a simple rule for modulating the throttle should be used to achieve the basic ACC functionality. Braking should be applied in a progressively increasing manner, and it should be used to adjust vehicle deceleration in a way that will lead to headway time and distance gaps such that throttle modulation can control headway. Every effort should be made to improve the forward-acceleration capability of the vehicle when it is under ACC control. The warning system should have a nonaggressive signal to inform the driver when braking at the full-deceleration authority of the ACC system has been reached. Further consideration should be given to adding another, more aggressive, signal to warn the driver when the deceleration needed to barely avoid a crash exceeds the control authority of the ACC system.

Download or read book Advances in Human Aspects of Transportation Part III written by Neville Stanton and published by AHFE International (USA). This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Factors and Ergonomics have made a considerable contribution to the research, design, development, operation and analysis of transportation systems which includes road and rail vehicles and their complementary infrastructure, aviation and maritime transportation. This book presents recent advances in the Human Factors aspects of Transportation. These advances include accident analysis, automation of vehicles, comfort, distraction of drivers (understanding of distraction and how to avoid it), environmental concerns, in-vehicle systems design, intelligent transport systems, methodological developments, new systems and technology, observational and case studies, safety, situation awareness, skill development and training, warnings and workload. This book brings together the most recent human factors work in the transportation domain, including empirical research, human performance and other types of modeling, analysis, and development. The issues facing engineers, scientists, and other practitioners of human factors in transportation research are becoming more challenging and more critical. The common theme across these sections is that they deal with the intersection of the human and the system. Moreover, many of the chapter topics cross section boundaries, for instance by focusing on function allocation in NextGen or on the safety benefits of a tower controller tool. This is in keeping with the systemic nature of the problems facing human factors experts in rail and road, aviation and maritime research– it is becoming increasingly important to view problems not as isolated issues that can be extracted from the system environment, but as embedded issues that can only be understood as a part of an overall system.
