Traffic crashes tend to be more serious when commercial trucks are involved. And an increasing number of vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for traffic safety improvement. To this end, study investigated the impacts ADAS respect forward collision warning (FCW), urban (UFCW), lane departure (LDW), headway monitoring and (HMW), speed limit indicator (SLI) on truck dr...

Commodity operating systems achieve good performance by running device drivers in-kernel. Unfortunately, this architecture offers poor fault isolation. This paper introduces microdrivers, which reduce the amount of driver code running in the kernel by splitting driver functionality between a small kernel-mode component and a larger user-mode component. This paper presents the microdriver archit...

Today’s device drivers are dependent on a given operating system, kernel, or an embedded system platform that provides a higher level of abstraction for its use. We present a USB mass storage device driver that does not depend on any operating system, or kernel, or embedded application. The device driver runs on a bare PC and directly interfaces with an application written in C/C++. The applica...

Driver cognitive distraction is a hazard state, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. This study focuses on detecting the driver cognitive distraction state based on driving performance measures. Characteristic parameters could be directly extracted from Controller Area NetworkCANBus data, without depending on other sensors, which improves real-time and robustness performance. Three cogni...

This paper examines the role of the human driver as the primary control element within the traditional driver-vehicle system. Lateral and longitudinal control tasks such as path-following, obstacle avoidance, and headway control are examples of steering and braking activities performed by the human driver. Physical limitations as well as various attributes that make the human driver unique and ...

A shift in consumer electronics from analog to digital technology is underway, and the television industry is transitioning from CRT to flat panel display (FPD) technology. With the increasing popularity of FPDs, the market for plasma display panels (PDPs) has also grown rapidly. The FPD market is divided according to screen size: sizes of 30 inches and smaller use liquid crystal display (LCD) ...
