INTELLIGENT DRIVING SAFETY SYSTEM UNDER AN IOT PLATFORM WITH LOW-COST DEVICES [RTI2018-095143-B-C2]

This project has been supported by the FEDER/Ministry of Science and Innovation - Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (AEI) of the Government of Spain through the project.

 The general objectives are:

• Design of an interoperable real-time software architecture based on IoT (Internet of Things) which allows to set up different levels of connected vehicles - vehicle-to-sensor on-board (V2S), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-road infrastructure (V2R) - to create driving safety systems by plug and play smart things connected to the vehicle network (sensors, actuators, observers and controllers).
• Design an integrated vehicle dynamic control system in order to improve the global dynamic behaviour of the vehicle using information from low-cost sensors.
• Design of an active acoustic system, based on the radar principle that allows estimating the position and the kinematic parameters of pedestrians and close objects on the path followed by the vehicle for an anti-collision system for pedestrians.

One advantage of the driving safety, which will be designed, is that it will be able to be applied in convectional vehicles (vehicle with driver) and autonomous vehicles. The IoT architecture enables the combination of different kinds of elements independently the manufacturer.
