THE DEVELOPMENT AND FIELD TRIAL OF DANGEROUS ZONE AVOIDANCE CONTROL SYSTEMS IN UTMS
UTMS21 (Next Generation Traffic Management Systems) has infrared beacon as the key infrastructure and is designed to provide drivers with traffic information through two-way communication between individual vehicles and to realize safe, comfortable and environment-friendly traffic society. The system consists of some subsystems, and one of them is DSSS (Driving Safety Support Systems), which coordinates the traffic control infrastructure advancing function and the car intellectualizing function to improve safety in car traffic and to reduce accidents. The Dangerous Zone Avoidance Control System was considered to be realized earlier and most effective to avoid head-on collisions and rear-end collisions among these systems under examination and was selected as the field trial system for introduction in this year.
