A mathematical driver model is given in the spacial equation form, which takes into account the previewed information of the path. Optimal control method is considered for the ideal no time-delay case and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach is applied to deal with drivers’ reaction time-delay. For both cases, exponential stability is guaranteed for the closedloop system.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine whether a persons' most frequently used mode of transportation is associated with life-space mobility and whether the association differs between persons with or without walking difficulties. METHOD Life-space mobility was measured with the Life-Space Assessment in 848 community-dwelling men and women aged 75 to 90 years. Six separate mobility gro...

Road safety is a substantial issue throughout the world, this includes Malaysia. Speeding contributed to one-third of all the fatal crashes reported from year 2002 to 2011with young generation drivers reported to have the highest fatality and injury rates. This paper studied on the speeding driving behavior of 10 teenagers aged from 20 to 25, with driving experience less than 10 years and 10 ad...

There has been rapid growth in the mobile-phone industry in terms of technology and growing number of users with migration into the car environment. There is also a significant demand for smart phones capable of accessing email, listening to music, organizing daily activities, linking to social networking sites, while the user is on the move. The automotive industry has been significantly impac...

Study of traffic flow dynamics has attracted considerable attention for decades. One way to thoroughly understand traffic flow is to study how each vehicle in traffic interacts with each other, through drivers’ acceleration/deceleration decisions. Such decisions are strongly influenced by reaction delays of drivers, which arise naturally due to drivers’ physiology, perception, and motor program...

There are many drivers who feel right A pillar of Japanese right-hand-drive car preventing visibility on turning right or left at intersection. On the other hand, there is a report that almost pedestrian accident is caused by the delay of finding pedestrian by drivers and this is found by drivers’ eye movement. Thus, we developed the evaluation method of quantification using drivers’ eye moveme...

In this paper we present our works towards creating a natural language platform for an intelligent driving assistant (IDA) for smart parking in Singapore. In particular, we are focusing on the challenges of designing and implementing reliable spoken dialogue components that enable drivers to communicate hands-free with the system. These components require: spoken language dialogue design, data ...

Stability analysis of a single-lane microscopic car-following model is studied analytically from the perspective of delayed reactions of human drivers. In the literature, the delayed reactions of the drivers are modeled with discrete delays, which assume that drivers make their control decisions based on the stimuli they receive from a point of time in the history. We improve this model by intr...
