VERIFYING EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BLIND SPOT IMAGE PROVIDING SYSTEM

摘要

The Blind Spot Image Providing System is a component of the Driving Safety Support Systems (DSSS), which are under research and development by the Universal Traffic Management Society of Japan (UTMS). The Blind Spot Image Providing System captures image of oncoming vehicles, using visible-light cameras installed along the road, and transmits the image in real time via DSRC radio system to the vehicle waiting to make a right turn. This system supports the driver's decision to make a right turn safely. An experimental equipment of the Blind Spot Image Providing System was installed at the intersection with a high accident rate to study the effectiveness of the service and technical issues were studied through the actual vehicles experiments performed by the involved parties.
