Abstract

Although currently seatbelts and airbags are world widely used, there are still more than 40,000 people killed annually in traffic accidents. Referred to David Breed's «Road to Zero Fatalities» (RtZF/spl reg/) concept, this paper mainly discusses how to develop and deploy a safety warning system using high precision digital road maps and a combination of various vehicle status sensory techniques, without or with a minimum requirement of additional road infrastructures. This system will help to avoid accidents and enhance safety by warning drivers of possible hazardous situations in advance.
