Side Collision Warning Systems for Transit Buses
Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium (IV '00), pp. 344 - 349, October, 2000
Abstract
Transit buses are involved in many more accidents than other vehicles. Collision Warning Systems (CWS) are therefore placed most efficiently on these buses. In our project, we investigate their operating environment and available technologies to develop perform-ance specifications for such CWS. This paper discusses our findings of transit buses driving through very cluttered surroundings and being involved in many different types of accidents where currently available CWS do not work effectively. One of the focuses of our work is pedestrians around the bus and their detection.
