As mentioned earlier the car is equipped with all the new electronic gadgets.
It helps the user to use service efficiently.
Some of the features of SMART CAR are:
- GPS and on-board communications
- Anti-collision sensors
A smart car must be able to sense, analyze, predict and react to the road
environment, which is the key feature of smart cars.
The car works with a central component that monitors the roadway and the driver.
It also evaluates of the potential safety benefits.
It addresses navigation, obstacle avoidance and platooning problems.
The car aims at expanding the time horizon for acquiring safety relevant
information and improving precision, reliability and quality of driving.
There are some preventive safety technologies and in-vehicle systems, which
sense the potential danger.
The Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle Interface (AIDE) project tries to
maximize the efficiency and safety of advanced driver assistance systems, while
minimizing the workload and distraction imposed by in-vehicle information
systems.
Almost 95% of the accidents are due to human factors and in almost
three-quarters of the cases human behaviour is solely to blame.
Smart cars present promising potentials to assist drivers in improving their
situational awareness and reducing errors.
With cameras monitoring the driver's gaze and activity, smart cars attempt to
keep the driver's attention on the road ahead.
Physiological sensors can detect whether the driver is in good condition.
The actuators will execute specified control on the car without the driver's
commands.
The smart car will adopt active measures such as stopping the car in case that
the driver is unable to act properly, or applying passive protection to reduce
possible harm in abrupt accidents, for example, popping up airbags.
