Abstract

The project developed algorithms for providing information to drivers and vehicles with the proper timing to help prevent collisions with obstacles and to support lane-keeping on curve roads and straight sections of road with the objective of preventing traffic accidents. These algorithms were then tested using actual vehicles, and simulation for some portions. As a result of the tests, it was determined with regard to prevention of collisions with obstacles that providing drivers in advance with information about obstacles made it more possible for drivers to stop with a smaller speed reduction and also to avoid them by changing lanes than when they are not provided with that information. With regard to keeping vehicles in their lanes on curved roads and straight sections, the algorithms provided drivers with advance warnings that made it possible to prevent lane departure, thus proving the effectiveness of the developed algorithms with respect to safety.
