Commercial Global Positioning System (GPS) devices are being used in transportation for applications including vehicle navigation, traffic monitoring, and tracking commercial and public transit vehicles. The current state-of-practice technology in GPS devices typically has 10-meter accuracy and can properly answer the needs in the above applications. When it comes to safety, where driver behavior is important, new technologies for high-precision (i.e., centimeter-level) mobility detection are required. It is with high-precision GPS traces that safety can be evaluated by identifying when drivers are drowsy or distracted, and anticipating problems before they occur. Through this project, the team will build low-cost high-precision GPS devices, obtain GPS traces by placing the devices on buses, and analyzing the traces to identify driver behavior indicators that could anticipate a safety concern before it occurs. |
