Design an intelligent curve to reduce the accident rate

摘要

Since unsafe speed and deviation to the left side in road curve with limited Visibility, may cause accidents to happen, a solution to detect and prevent such accidents has been proposed in this paper in order to achieve a safe trip. It is necessary to have the geometric properties of the road, and detect the speed and location of the car. To do this, initially the geometric properties of mountainous roads are extracted and then using inductive loop detectors sensors, and instant speed and location data of vehicles on the road, probability of accident will be predicted. In next step, by warning drivers and reducing the vehicle's speed using automatic physical barriers used along the route, accidents will be prevented. Finally the costs of making the roads intelligent will be investigated. The results show that the designed intelligent system has succeeded to achieve remarkable reduction in probable.
