Collision-avoidance of High Speed Mobility using Environmental High-speed Vision

Summary

We propose a driving safety support system (DSSS) which employs high-speed vision installed in surrounding environments such as highways, urban roads, and crossroads.

The system is aiming to recognize traffic situations including hidden places from mobilities and utilize such information for driving safety support. The system consists of synchronized high-speed cameras which acquire images every millisecond, and mobilities capable of communicating with these high-speed cameras via communication stations.

We conducted experiments on collision avoidance and demonstrate that the proposed system can resolve the deficiency of readiness, which is common to environmental vision systems, by introducing high-speed vision.

This system contributes to further ITS technology on the grounds that it enables us to realize obstacles very soon after they appear and also enables the mobility to avoid them due to information on obstacles.
