CrossWatch? - Real Time Accident Prevention A Paper for the ITS World Congress, Busan 2010

摘要

The CrossWatch? system monitors intersections and alerts drivers of impending dangers.Video sensors monitor the road from above and provide the system with a simple view of roadsituations. Details are then conveyed to subscribing vehicles via RF-link. The vehicle'son-board unit analyzes the incoming information, creating a local perception of the situationas relevant for the position and intentions of the vehicle. In case of potential conflict or danger,the driver is immediately alerted.CrossWatch directly addresses the problem of driver awareness. A minimum of on-boardhardware is employed, thereby allowing mass deployment. The RF link is prioritized andoptimized for maximal safety improvement while using a relatively small bandwidth.
