Reducing Traffic Accidents Using a V2V System that Disseminates Dangerous-Driving Information

In this study, dangerous-driving information, such as drowsy driving and inattentive driving, obtained by a driver-monitoring system is disseminated to neighboring drivers using a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system. This system is expected to prevent accidents by automatically taking accident-avoidance actions once dangerous driving information is received. Existing state-of-the-art accident-prevention systems warn drivers when dangerous driving is detected. Unlike such systems, the proposed system tries to prevent accidents by warning the surrounding drivers by providing dangerous-driving information. The effectiveness of this proposal is verified through a multi-agent simulation, and our proposed mechanism is confirmed to be more effective in preventing car accidents.
