Using Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) communication for a Cooperative Collision Warning System (CCWS) has been explored and has shown promise in improving vehicle safety. However, the performance of such a system under different adoption rates has not been examined in depth. We first examine what effects varying adoption rates will have on a CCWS protocol with a variable broadcast scheme. We t...

Early Warning Intrusion Detection System (EWIS) is a distributed global scoped Internet threat monitoring system with the potential of detecting large scale malicious events as early as possible. The system’s architecture includes a network of distributed low-interaction sensors and a central server [1]. The sensors are small computing platforms [2] that by design are easy to deploy in a distri...

Detection and recognition of traffic signs is an essential task of regulating the traffic, guiding and warning driver’s pedestrians. In traffic sign detection research are categorized into three groups. The first group of researchers believes that traffic sign detection colors are important information by which traffic signs can be detected and classified. The second group believes that detecti...

Road traffic signs provide instructions, warning information, to regulate driver behavior. In addition, these signs provide a reliable guarantee for safe and convenient driving. The Traffic Sign Detection and Recognition (TSDR) system is one of the primary applications for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). TSDR has obtained a great deal of attention over the recent years. But, it is st...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the effectiveness of rear-end collision warnings presented in different sensory modalities as a function of warning timing in a driving simulator. BACKGROUND The proliferation of in-vehicle information and entertainment systems threatens driver attention and may increase the risk of rear-end collisions. Collision warning systems have been shown to improve inatten...

Railway level crossings are amongst the most complex of road safety control systems, due to the conflicts between road vehicles and rail infrastructure, trains and train operations. Driver behaviour at railway crossings is the major collision factor. The main objective of the present paper was to evaluate the existing conventional warning devices in relation to driver behaviour. The common conv...
