On May 29th, “Active Safety System Based on Internet of Vehicles” was released officially on the initiative of the new technology conference held by Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. The system was developed by Laboratory of Internet of Things and Information Security led by Prof. Huang Liusheng from School of Computer Science and Technology and Suzhou Institute for Advanced Study, USTC.
Internet of Vehicles technology refers to dynamic mobile communication systems that communicate between vehicles and public networks using V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle), V2R (vehicle-to-road), V2H (vehicle-to-human) and V2S (vehicle-to-sensor) interactions. It will be possible to remotely determine a vehicle's operational legality, license status of the driver and illegal acts on road traffic which will reduce vehicle and traffic management costs, make road safe, and save lives. IOV technology is still at its first stage, but it would promote the development of automotive manufacturing, content delivery and mobile communications. IOV has gained the extensive attention in academia and industry.
Main products of IOV include ETC, intelligent navigation and remote services, etc. Vehicle Active Safety is mainly based on visual technology such as radar, video and so on. The research group of Prof. Huang fills in a gap of non-visual technology in vehicle active safety. The research group developed an active safe vehicle system for vehicular network by overcoming a series of key challenges, such as the capture of real-time communication, vehicle location information, error correction based on the positions of the security warning. On this system they deployed some driving safely warning applications, including the rear end collision warning application, vehicle emergency brake warning application, the intersection collision warning application and warning of speed curve application. Experiment results on Chery A3 show that the system can improve the driving safety by providing a warning of 3-5 seconds ahead of traffic danger.
Safe Driving Monitoring Terminal researched by USTC
Since 2012, research group has published more than 30 papers in important academic journals and conferences' proceedings such as IEEE Trans. on Computers, IEEE Trans. on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications, IEEE Trans. on Vehicular Technology. There are 8 articles included in CCF A and 4 articles included in top-level journals. More than 10 items has applied for patents.
This research was supported by the National Science and Technology Major Project, “Internet of Things” of NDRC Project and the China National Science Foundation.
