Fog Computing based traffic Safety for Connected Vulnerable Road Users
2019
Annually, millions of people die and many more sustain non-fatal injuries because of road traffic crashes. Despite multitude of countermeasures, the number of causalities and disabilities owing to traffic accidents are increasing each year causing grinding social, economic, and health problems. Due to their high volume and lack of protective-shells, more than half of road traffic deaths are imputed to vulnerable road users (VRUs): pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Mobile devices combined with fog computing can provide feasible solutions to protect VRUs by predicting collusions and warning users of an imminent traffic accident. Mobile devices’ ubiquity and high computational capabilit…
Use of driving simulators for advanced driver assistance Systems evaluation in emergency situations
2012
Introducing advanced driver assistance systems in cars has numerous consequences, particularly on drivers' behavior and their interaction with the vehicle. The expected safety benefits of assistance systems can thus be jeopardized. In order to assess the actual safety benefits, driving simulators offer a safe and cheap alternative. This doctoral work relies on experiments carried out on driving simulators with different assistance systems. A first experimental part focuses on longitudinal control assistance: we studied drivers' familiarization with a Forward Collision Warning system in critical situations. A second experimental part focuses on lateral control assistance: we studied drivers'…
