SMART VEHICLES

ABSTRACT:

This paper presents a study on the behavior of smart cars by considering them as autonomous intelligent agents. In particular, a smart car could behave as autonomous agent by extracting information from the surrounding environment (road, highway) and determining its position in it, detecting the motion and tracking the behavioral patterns of other moving objects (automobiles) in its own surrounding space, exchanging information via internet with other moving objects (if possible) and negotiating its safety during travel with the other moving objects. The ideas presented here are based on traffic rules that a smart car has to know and the way to negotiate its safety by studying the other cars driving behavior like an autonomous agent. A smart-vehicle system involves sensor-based systems, which continuously evaluate the surroundings of the vehicle, display relevant information to the driver and might even take control of the vehicle.
The first part of this paper looks into the technologies related to smart cars and modern technologies to improve safety. These technologies are broken down into four broad, distinct classifications of devices:
collision avoidance,
adaptive cruise control,
imaging, and
Navigational aids.
Collision-avoidance systems protect the occupant by preventing accidents. Adaptive cruise control seeks to allow a car to maintain its speed and also its distance from cars in front of it. Imaging aids enhance vision of humans in improper visibility situations. Navigational aids assist drivers for better navigation.
The next part of the paper deals with the latest technologies developed by the manufacturers all over the world, to make a vehicle “SMART”.A smart vehicle not only takes care of passengers traveling in it but also of those using roads and other vehicles.
