I-CAR

Contents Factors causing accidents and head on collision Existing technologies New technologies Advantages and drawbacks conclusion

Factors 1.Construction of roads 2.Traffics 3.Brake failure 4.Discipline of pedestrians and drivers 5.Natural climatic conditions

Construction of roads Proper planning of roads(town-planning) Quality of roads Proper parking facilities on roads

traffics Control of traffic by more use of public transport Proper traffic signal systems Use of more sign boards Speed limit in crowded areas More use of foot paths by pedestrians

Discipline Educating and promoting traffic rules Strict following of laws Use of more zebra crossing Driving discipline Better quality of examination before issuing license Natural climatic conditions-heavy rains, fog. Etc… Regular maintenance of car

Existing technologies Parking sensors Fog lamps Increase in use of air bags-to save life after accident !!! GPS systems Cruise control

New technologies Radar technology Intelligent systems (using AI) Smart cruise control Use of image processing

Intelligent vehicle system use of image processing with AI Components: 1.Camera 2.Real time processor and associated circuit 3.Processor for AI 4.Display screen 5.Control interface 6.Memory

image processing with AI Features: uses Real time image processing(SigC641x and video co-processor card) Uses branch of AI for pattern recognition Uses planning and path finding algorithms(eg. Use of Dijkstra vs. A*)

Selection of camera

image processing with AI

Figure 1 (a) Stereo video camera. (b) Left image. (c) Right image. (d) Disparity map d(x,y) produced by stereo algorithm: brighter green means higher disparity and thus closer to camera; black pixels indicate no estimate at that location. The disparity map clearly shows that the person in the images is closer to the camera than the walls behind him.
