| Most of the academic research on driving support systems focuses on automating the actual driving rather than assisting the driver by enhancing its awareness of the car’s surroundings. None of such automated driving systems are currently available to the public. On the other hand, several types of practical driving-aid devices have been developed and made available on the market. Blind-spot detectors, lane change assistants, and back-up/parking sensors are a few examples. The current technology in driver support systems is diverse in terms of functionality, methodology and implementation. The common denominator of all those systems is obstacle detection by sensing: to this end they utilize various forms of sensors, such as laser light, ultrasonic, radar, infrared, and CCD cameras, which are very expensive techniques. Reckless driving is another major moving traffic violation. It is usually a more serious offense than careless driving, improper driving, or driving without due care and attention and is often punishable by fines, imprisonment, and/or driver’s license suspension or revocation. Reckless driving is often defined as a mental state in which the driver displays a wanton disregard for the rules of the road; the driver often misjudges common driving procedures, often causing accidents and other damages. |
