Real-Time Vehicle Motion Detection and Motion Altering for Connected Vehicle: Algorithm Design and Practical Applications

Abstract

Real-time capturing of vehicle motion is the foundation of connected vehicles (CV) and safe driving. This study develops a novel vehicle motion detection system (VMDS) that detects lane-change, turning, acceleration, and deceleration using mobile sensors, that is, global positioning system (GPS) and inertial ones in real-time. To capture a large amount of real-time vehicle state data from multiple sensors, we develop a dynamic time warping based algorithm combined with principal component analysis (PCA). Further, the designed algorithm is trained and evaluated on both urban roads and highway using an Android platform. The aim of the algorithm is to alert adjacent drivers, especially distracted drivers, of potential crash risks. Our evaluation results based on driving traces, covering over 4000 miles, conclude that VMDS is able to detect lane-change and turning with an average precision over 76% and speed, acceleration, and brake with an average precision over 91% under the given testing data dataset 1 and 4. Finally, the alerting tests are conducted with a simulator vehicle, estimating the effect of alerting back or front vehicle the surrounding vehicles’ motion. Nearly two seconds are gained for drivers to make a safe operation. As is expected, with the help of VMDS, distracted driving decreases and driving safety improves.

Vivid: Augmenting Vision-Based Indoor Navigation System With Edge Computing

“…SLAM is a technique that solves the problem of obtaining the 3D structure of the environment and the motion of the sensor [28]. The sensors that can be leveraged include light detection and ranging (LIDAR) [29], the inertial measurement unit (IMU), GPS, and cameras [40], [46]. The visual SLAM (vSLAM) is a branch of SLAM that uses visual information only, such as images and depth.…”

“…A SLAM implementation, ORB-SLAM2 [36], was chosen to build this system due to its advantage of engineering convenience. ORB-SLAM2 uses the Boost Serialization library [37] to save and read maps.…”

Grating‐Structured Freestanding Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Self‐Powered Acceleration Sensing in Real Time

“…Acceleration sensors have a wide range of applications in earthquake early warning, human motion recognition, sleep monitoring, vibration test, and vehicle monitoring. [1][2][3][4][5] The acceleration sensor also plays an important role in the vehicle restraint system, as it detects the collision direction and position and switches on the airbag to protect the passengers. Generally, the existing commercial acceleration sensors are mainly divided into categories of capacitive, piezoresistive, and piezoelectric according to their physical principle.…”
