A Contour of Collision Risk by Altering Course and a Collision Avoidance

A Modified Midcourse Guidance Law Based on Genelarized Collision Course

Time-to-collision and Collision Avoidance Systems

In research on Traffic Conflicts Techniques, Time-To-Collision (TTC) has proven to be an effective measure for rating the severity of traffic conflicts and for discriminating critical from normal behaviour. The results of several studies point to the direct use of TTC as a cue for decision-making in traffic. The current development of driver support systems based on the application of modern te...

Visual collision avoidance by segmentation

Visual collision avoidance involves two diicult subprob-lems: obstacle recognition and depth measurement. We present a class of algorithms that use particularly simple methods for each subproblem and derive a set of suu-cient conditions for their proper functioning based on a set of idealizations. We then discuss and compare two diierent implementations of the approach and discuss their perform...

Evaluation of automotive forward collision warning and collision avoidance algorithms

Collision warning/collision avoidance (CW/CA) systems target a major crash type and their development is a major thrust of the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative. They are a natural extension of adaptive cruise control systems already available on many car models. Many CW/CA algorithms have recently been proposed but the existing literature mainly focuses on algorithm development. Evaluations of th...

Development of a Collision Avoidance System

The analysis of a rear-end collision warning/ avoidance (CW/CA) system algorithm will be presented. The system is designed to meet several criteria: 1. System warnings should result in a minimum load on driver attention. 2. Automatic control of the brakes should not interfere with normal driving operation. 3. The system should perform well in a variety of driving conditions. The resulting CA al...
