For instance, Allstate's Drivewise provides automatic crash detection that alerts emergency services after detecting an impact. This can be a lifesaver if you become unconscious in an accident.
Several types of vehicle tracking devices exist. Typically they are classified as "passive" and "active". "Passive" devices store GPS location, speed, heading and sometimes a trigger event such as key on/off, door open/closed. Once the vehicle returns to a predetermined point, the device is removed and the data downloaded to a computer for ...
An example algorithm for traffic-sign detection. Modern traffic-sign recognition systems are being developed using convolutional neural networks, mainly driven by the requirements of autonomous vehicles and self-driving cars. In these scenarios, the detection system needs to identify a variety of traffic signs and not just speed limits.
Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself. [3] For example, the driver is able to set the cruise control to 55mph, if the car while traveling that speed catches up to another vehicle going only 45mph, the ACC will cause the car to automatically brake and maintain a safe distance behind the ...
According to Allstate's survey, it's Honolulu, Hawaii. This city ranked No. 1 overall for safe driving, including No. 1 ranking for hard braking behavior, No. 1 in high-speed driving, and No. 18 ...
OSGP – The Open Smart Grid Protocol, a widely use protocol for smart grid devices built on ISO/IEC 14908.1; OpenADR – Open Automated Demand Response; protocol to manage electricity consuming/controlling devices; Optomux – Serial (RS-422/485) network protocol originally developed by Opto 22 in 1982.
Automatic vehicle location (AVL or ~locating; telelocating in EU) is a means for automatically determining and transmitting the geographic location of a vehicle. This vehicle location data , from one or more vehicles, may then be collected by a vehicle tracking system to manage an overview of vehicle travel.
Automated Flagger Assistance Device (AFAD) is a specialized piece of safety equipment used in the traffic control industry on roadway work zones. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] AFADs were designed as an innovative solution to the dangers of traditional traffic control , aiming to increase the safely and efficiency of work zones.
