Evaluation of Effectiveness of In-vehicle Traffic Light Assisting a Driver to Pass an Intersection Using a Driving Simulator

Abstract

Promising opportunities for generating coordination among vehicles are provided by the development of vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. In this paper, an advanced driver assistance system using in-vehicle traffic lights will be proposed for un-signalized intersections. By applying this system, in the case of un-signalized intersections, passing rules will be designed based on the road traffic act and traffic lights calculated will be displayed in vehicles for drivers. A driving simulator will be applied to simulate the vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Experiments will also be conducted to investigate the effectiveness of in-vehicle traffic lights assisting a driver to pass unsignalized intersections.
