摘要: Traffic accidents that occur as a direct result of collisions represent the majority of accidents occurring on highways and streets, and lead to hundreds of thousands of fatalities and injuries to people and destruction of property. The aim of this project was to reduce the number of collisions through the application of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and wireless communications. Even a small reduction in the number of these incidents would yield very large savings and improvement to the quality of life. In this project, the researchers developed and implemented a study where GPS technology was used in tracking a single vehicle and relaying its information to a central server. Using another simulated vehicle, the server evaluated collision scenarios and sent cautionary messages to the roving vehicle when a collision was expected.
